Indian woman gives birth at 70
NEW DELHI (AFP) — An Indian woman has given birth to her first child at the age of 70 after receiving IVF treatment, newspapers reported her doctor as saying Monday.
Rajo Devi, who married 50 years ago, gave birth to a baby girl on November 28 (2008) after in vitro fertilization, said Anurag Bishnoi, a doctor at the Hisar fertility centre in Haryana state.
Rajo Devi and (her husband) Bala Ram approached the centre for treatment and the embryo transfer was done on April 19,
he told the Hindustan Times. Both the mother and child are in good health.
Bishnoi claimed Devi was the world's oldest mother.
Another 70-year-old Indian was reported to have given birth to twins via IVF in July this year, while a 66-year-old Spanish woman had twins in 2006.
Devi's husband, aged 72, had also wed his wife's sister after 10 years of his first marriage did not result in children. His second wife also failed to become pregnant.
It was not clear whose egg and sperm were used in the successful treatment.
IVF has revolutionized the way we look at infertility,
said Bishnoi. Infertility is no longer a social taboo or a divine curse. It can be treated scientifically.
