A woman classified by Guinness World Records as the oldest person in the world died on Aug. 19 at the age of 117, her family confirmed to The New York Times.
According to Guinness World Records, Maria Branyas Morera died in Spain at the Residència Santa María del Tura nursing home in Olot, Catalonia, where she has lived since 2000.
Guinness World Records passed on the title of “oldest woman living” to Branyas Morera when Lucile Randon, a nun also known as Sister André, died in 2023 at the age of 118.
That’s actually not true. It’s basically semantics on when you consider a person born but technically a twin that remains in the womb while the other is birthed is always younger than their sibling. 🤓 ☝️
Well… So the first one birthed is the youngest person alive for at least some fraction of a second, and when the other twin is born, they’ll also be youngest alive for a second.
I would argue a baby in the womb 9 months is just as alive as a baby outside of it. Whether they are in the womb or not they are both alive.
Congrats, you’ve described birth.
Read the rest of the chain before you speak. We’re talking about twins and if the oldest twin can ever be considered younger then their sibling.
