67 year old Gives birth

[Tobey]

Fellow, I've doubted about your ability,

But that's just not practic.

Still so many things u have to handle.

[onex]

This is a tug-o-war between pro-choice and morality. I am 20 and have relatively young parents (both 41) so the age gap has always been quite small. My parents remember what it was like to be my age all the way through childhood and adolescence and that helps a lot.

The main problem I see here is that the poor kid isn't going to be guaranteed a mother much beyond its teens. But then again, who is? I could have a kid now, but my hectic lifestyle could dictate my absence before it's even born. Life is all down to chance.

The main reason we are here in this evolutionary 'goo' is to pro-create (replace yourself and your partner) before you die. I say congratulations. It's getting easier and easier to conceive later in life (although us blokes pretty much pop 'til we drop).

It's her decision and maybe her overall life experience will postively dominate her parenting. As long as she does her best with the kid, I'm sure it'll work out fine.

Congratulations to the woman who is older than my grandmother!

I saw this on the news last night. Didn't get the chance to catch everything. Hopefully, the adoption papers are already taken care of? That kid needs to be adopted now!

[Krudomanic]

Makes me :x

Too old and long in the tooth to be giving birth at this aga...?

[enklus]

:x

[forster]

I wouldnt tap that - and I'd tap ANYTHING.

[Jase]

Oh Nooooooooooooooooooooooo... :pacifier:

[popsandthefamily]

If you were raised by your great-great grandparents, you'd have a different opinion. It's not about what is best for the woman; news flash, only bad parents bring children in to the world for their own benefit. A child is an independent life and should only be brought in the this world for it's own benefit. Your argument is like two people in a bad marriage that have a kid to save their marriage!

OMG! I've just had a thought!

The old granny might share the same diaper brand with her kid!

Nope, you got my point wrong. I am saying that If there was something wrong, could be anything. It could have been a godsend to them. People get their signs every day.

To be honest i wouldn't support this, like seriously think about the kid, the mother and father would be that old, and touch wood, they wouldn't stay alive for too long, and lets say they are lucky enough for another 10 yrs, the kid will be 10 yrs old, and if they go, who will look after them? Relatives, but what if they don't have any? then they'll be an orphan, and also it does impact childhood life.

[caerma]

:no: ... :x

[stezo2k]

I don't really care myself... I don't see anything wrong with it though

[Pink Floyd Veteran]

ugh

I'd say wrong

[qdave]

i am glad that she got what she probably wanted for a long time...but in the long run as you all said its bad for kids since she will die (might die)) before they reach 20's.

[Preemo]

breast feeding the baby would just be ..  :x

WTH?! That's hilarious! HAHAHAHAHA

Living in a country where they have an enormous number of orphans (romania), you would think that this woman might have considered adopting maybe 4 or 5 children instead of spending so much money on such a selfish pursuit.

the egg wasn't hers. she doesn't have a partner - so the sperm was donor. the baby was born prematurely - bringing with it many health risks. born without her twin - in which case she may always feel some sort of loss even though she never met her twin.

and by the time she is 20, it's very possible that her only family member, her mother, will have died.

i can't imagine an existance like that.

i'm very fortunate that i still have both my parents, but to have no family in your early 20's is just sad :(

these were selfish actions, by a selfish woman.

everyone keeps saying "she's an intelligent woman - she must have thought it through properly!"

some of the smartest people i've met have very little common sense, and sense of social and moral resposibility.

:no:

I agree with you. So many places have orphanages in Romania, years ago (In England) lots of them got adopted, lots of toys and money was sent to help the ones not adopted.

When my two grow up and leave home, we hope to adopt a couple of children from kent that need a family.

Very sad this women spat on her own people.

uhh, weird..

Hahahaha, ROFL!!!

But seriously, when the kid is 13 years old his/her mother will be 80years old... That's just wrong. :wacko:

[PureLogic]

Nice to have mom that's likely to be dead when you're 13 yo.

Yeah exactly :/

[ozgeek]

It is her choice. If she can do it then that's fine with her.

Anyone can do what they want at any age they want. Age does not stop you from doing what you actually can do.

Congrats to her for a new family member. I grief for one of the twins who died during birth.
