fertile octogenarian

A quick definition of fertile octogenarian:

A fertile octogenarian is a belief that someone, regardless of their age or physical condition, can still have a child. This idea is unrealistic and untrue. It can cause problems when it comes to passing on property to children, as it may delay the process unnecessarily. Many states have laws to prevent this from happening.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: An unrealistic belief that any person, regardless of age, infirmity, or physical deficiency, is capable of having a child. This notion can cause legal issues, such as property title disputes, if someone is waiting for a potential sibling to be born before inheriting property.

Example 1: A 90-year-old woman believes she can still have a child and refuses to update her will to include her grandchildren as beneficiaries. This causes a legal battle between her children and grandchildren after her death.

Example 2: A man with a severe genetic disorder believes he can father a child despite medical professionals advising against it. He spends thousands of dollars on fertility treatments, but ultimately is unable to conceive.

These examples illustrate how the belief in a fertile octogenarian can lead to unrealistic expectations and legal issues. It is important to understand the limitations of the human body and seek professional advice before making important decisions.

gtown: An optional response is another way for the Admissions Committee to get to know you. If you wish, we encourage you to submit a 250-word statement or one minute video, as applicable, for any of the following: 1. What’s the best (or worst) piece of advice you ever received? 2. If you could “uninvent” one thing, what would it be? 3. Tell us about a moment in your life that you regret. 4. Describe your perfect day. 5. Share a top ten list with us.

im this close to not applying to Harvard for the sheer fact that I don't want to fix my essays to fit their prompt

@InsipidLemon: really depends on how much they like you. Some schools will give it to you unsolicited, others you must ask.
I decided to apply to ASU because why not cause I saw they waived the application and CAS fee
It only took like 15 minutes
