From the article: "Sharon Bernardi, aged 44, from Sunderland, inherited mitochondrial disease from her mother. The condition has claimed the lives of six of her children, all of them dying within a few days of birth.
Her only surviving child, Edward, who is 20, suffers from a serious mitochondrial disease and needs constant care.
Sharon said: "It was devastating to lose my children, and this happened again and again. I feel lucky to have Edward, but he has very serious health problems as a result of the faulty DNA. "
Am I the only one thinking she is pretty selfish? She knew any child she had was going to have health problems yet she kept trying over and over again to have more???!
