It seems the world is to have a shocking, crazy and unprecedent record in the history of humankind’s reproduction. Daily Mail is reporting a Tunisian woman is conceiving 12 babies (duodecaplets) after in vitro fertility treatment, and she will go to the labor as soon as within this month. From Daily Mail:

A mother is set to give birth to 12 babies this month, breaking the record set by U.S. mother Nadya Suleman who delivered healthy octuplets.

The teacher from Tunisia is expecting six boys and six girls, after undergoing fertility treatment.

The woman – who is yet to be named – and her husband of two years turned to IVF after suffering two miscarriages.

She said she was now looking forward to hugging her babies.

Despite the risks of a multiple-pregnancy, the family who live in Gafsa, southwest of Tunis the capital, said it was an ‘amazing and wonderful miracle’.

Commenting on the news, a reader called herself Jen expressed her concerns:

They seem to naively think that they will end up with 12 healthy babies at the end of this. Nadia Suleman was VERY lucky that all of her 8 babies survived. The fact that it was massive news across the world is because having multiple pregnancies ending well is so rare. ‘Octomum’ was huge by the end of her pregnancy and although they were very well sized considering, the babies were still tiny and needed special care.

Horribly pessimistic but there is no way that a woman’s body could cope with the massive strain of carrying 12 babies and the babies simply won’t be able to develop fully enough in the womb for them to have a chance when they are born. It’s disgustingly irresponsible that any doctor would implant so many embryo’s in the first place. Sadly I cannot see this story having a happy ending.

What Jen said can’t be more true!

Maria Carmen del Bousada, who became a mother of twins for the first time three years ago, has passed away. It is believed Maria Carmen del Bousadathe, 69,  died of breast cancer, orphaning two of her sons.

Maria Bousada hit the international headlines in 2006 for becoming the world’s oldest mom at the time when she gave birth to twins Cristian and Pau. Miss Bousada conceived them via a £30,000 in vitro fertility treatment after she didn’t tell the truth about her health (she was then suffering from a tumour) lied her age to a Los Angeles clinic.

Woman Rescued From 30-Meter Tall Chimney

Story from EastSouthWestNorth

In Harbin city, a middle-aged woman was upset over economic issues such as the number of years that she was credited with working, her insurance coverage and so on.

At 9:50am on July 6, she took off her clothes (except for her panties) and climbed up a 30-meter tall smoke stack at number 83, Huaihe Road, Nangang district, Harbin city. The police, the fire department and the media went to the scene.

When the reporter arrived at 10:50am, she was yelling at the people gathered underneath. First, her younger brother got on the fire truck ladder to talk to her. He told her not to do anything stupid. But she was not listening. When the ladder began to edge near her, she screamed: “Don’t you come near! If you come any closer, I will jump!” So the ladder was brought down. Meanwhile the fire fighters set up an air mattress underneath.

After a while, her son was sent up on the ladder, but she also refused to come down. Finally her sister went up with fire fighters. After some more talking, she calmed down. Slowly and steadily, the fire fighters transferred her over to the ladder. By 12:50pm, she was successfully rescued and sent to the Harbin Number One Hospital for examination.
