The illegal and controversial $urgical operation was done in a private clinic in Turkey. In the country, European laws on ovary transplants do not apply. She said, ‘I am very grateful to all the team of doctors who decided to go on with the operation. 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. 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.’ Miss Vertadella’s husband has passed away since 1998. But the century-old widow has managed to find a sperm donor to make the birth possible. She explained, ‘I met Francesco’s father on the internet while trying to find a father to my child. This 26-year-old man is a Catholic and that is all that is important to me. I wanted my child to be born in a union sanctified by the Catholic church.’ She added, ‘I wanted my child to be born in a union sanctified by the Catholic church. I know we are not married and that he will not play a part in Francesco’s life, but I have written to the pope to ask his absolution. I have also named my child after the pope in his honor and so I believe he should find a place in his heart to forgive me in this particular situation.’ - See more at: http://nagrikpost.com/101-year-old-gives-birth-to-her-17th-child/#sthash.ceKV3JWV.wfew2TLJ.dpuf
