63-year-old gives birtl
LOS ANGELES (AP) —A 63-year-old woman gave
birth to a healthy girl after in vitro fertilization that
produced what University of Southern California
doctors said Wednesday was the world’s oldest suc
cessful pregnancy.
The baby was delivered late last year by Caesarean
section and weighed 6 pounds, 4 ounces. The mother’s
identity was withheld by doctors.
When the Southern California woman first ap
proached the USC Program for Assisted Reproduction,
she represented herself as being 50 years old instead of
60, said Dr. Richard Paulson, the program director.
"Had the individual disclosed her actual age ... she
would not have qualified for treatment at USC, since
the program uses an arbitrary upper age limit of 55 for
women seeking fertility therapy,” a statement from the
USC reproductive center said.
It took three years for the woman to become pregnant.
Doctors learned of the woman’s advanced age at the
C
end of her first trimester, said Paulson, chiefofti
fertility division at the USC School of Medicine P
All women over the age of 45 who wish toundej

Skydiving

Saitis said misconceptions about skydiving can de
ter some potential skydivers from trying out the sport.
He said some complain they do not have the money to
invest in skydiving. The first jump can range from $145
to $240, depending on the type of jump. Subsequent
jumps cost about $35 to $125.
Although people often view skydiving as expensive
and dangerous, Saitis said this is not necessarily true.
"People think we have to be crazy to do something
like this, but look how many people have died build
ing Bonfire,” Saitis said. “I know a lot of people who
will go out and spend $50 a weekend drinking. I know
it sounds like a lot of money, but you really get what
you pay for.”
Roderick said some people are amazed to hear of her
love for skydiving. She said although skydiving is simi
lar to many sports in that it can be risky, it involves less
risk than many thoughtless daily activities.
“Skydiving is safer than driving a car, being in a
boxing match or flying in an airplane,” Roderick
said. “Just like wearing your seat belt while driving,
there are certain things you can do to make skydiv
ing a safer environment.”

Tom Putnam, computing ser

to work with him.
“I am hoping that she will get a
chance to see women in many
different occupations," Putnam
said. "She should -find out what
work is like and the many differ
ent expectations people have at
work. This should help hen
derstand why her continue;
cation is valuable.”
“A lot of the girls in theagei
that we are targeting are bef
