The deal she made was  irresponsible because it did not only involve her. 

But let&#039;s give this lady the benefit of the doubt because maybe she never knew that children fathered by men in their late 50s, especially if they are boys, have a hugely increased risk of autism and schizophrenia.

Manuel Mallia thought he was doing a clever thing by siring an heir for his millions with a woman young enough to be his daughter, but was too uninformed to know that the biggest parental-age-related problems are with the father not the mother. 

At 60, he fathered twin sons who are severely autistic, making this woman&#039;s materialistic deal a whole lot worse than it should have been.

If children were part of the Codruta/Manuel Mallia bargain, then we&#039;re looking at two extremely irresponsible (or tragically uninformed) individuals. 

This is just the latest and most comprehensive study, but the information has been publicly available for some years now.
