here I hope they all do well. The family came from Russia to give birth to them in the UK.

this paragragh under 'Quintuplet facts' makes me feel a bit queesy

'The first set of surviving quintuplets were the Dionne sisters born in Ontario, Canada, in 1934. They were taken from their parents and exhibited in front of paying customers for more than a decade'

He is a great guy, I met him whenI was a student and he was still in school (!) Very very clever and compasionate.

belgo, if you look up the Dionne quintuplets on Wikipedia, it's a very sad story indeed. The family was very poor (five children alread), and the father signed a contract with a fairground exhibitor two days after the babies were born. There was an outcry about that, leading to the children being taken into care, then the state exploiting them. Apparently it was quite normal at the time for premature babies in incubators to be exhibited at shows
