-Killing babies is so funny, Onion!
SHANGHAI, CHINA—In the second such documented case ever, Jinan Huang, a 33-year-old Shanghai woman, gave birth to septuplets Monday.
Jinan, who is in stable condition following the 31-hour delivery, has been given one week by government officials to decide which child she will keep.
"My husband and I have not decided for certain," said Jinan, speaking to reporters from her hospital bed shortly after the miraculous birth. "But we are very much considering keeping the second-born boy. He is the heaviest and, therefore, the most likely to survive and tend to us in our old age."
The six children not selected will, in accordance with Chinese multiple-birth law, be thrown off a mountaintop.
Since China's one-child-per-family law went into effect in 1983, more than 65 million multiple-birth babies have been put to death in the country.
