LONDON, England (Reuters) — A 63-year-old British hospital consultant is set to become one of the world’s oldest mothers after undergoing fertility treatment, the Italian doctor who treated her said on Thursday.

Patricia Rashbrook, a child psychologist from Lewes, East Sussex, was given in vitro fertilisation (IVF) treatment last October, Severino Antinori told Reuters.

Antinori, who said he was “excited and proud” about the treatment, gained notoriety in the early 1990s when he helped a 62-year-old Italian woman give birth following fertility treatment with a donated egg.

So great, this bird will be 82 years old when the poor kid gets out of high school. What a lovely thing to do to a child.

The doctor was very reassuring, however, when he described the criteria for the perfect mother:

“She came here with her husband, the couple love each other, she is very slim, blonde and in perfect condition, she fits all the criteria for maternity.”

Slim, blond, and perfect condition. Sounds like the perfect mother to me.
