A 101-years-old Italian woman named Anatolia Vertadella, has given birth to a 9-pound baby after a controversial ovary transplant made this parturition possible. This procedure has been subjected to harsh critique by medical professionals, given the fact that the woman was in her advanced age.
The procedure was actually done in private clinic in Turkey as the European laws on ovary transplant don’t apply there. Anatolia confessed that the procedure was done secretly, but refuses to disclose the name of the clinic where the procedure was conducted.
“I am very grateful to all the team of doctors who decided to go on with the operation,” she admitted in tears. “I am so grateful to have given birth to my 17th child.
“This is a true blessing and a testament to the power of the creator,” Anatolia Vertadella told Rivista Napoli.
“For so long I have felt useless to God, I could not procreate since I turned 48 years old when I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. For a long time I believed God was punishing me for only bearing 16 children, but in his godly generosity, he has granted me with fertility once again,” acknowledges the century-old fervent Catholic.
Although he admits the whole procedure is controversial and as Dr. Popolicchi believes the final decision was left to the patient.
