my opinion would be, that as long as the publinc ain't paying for the procedure and the maintenance of these kids, then, hey, go for it.

In these stories of women having kids at these ages, I always feel for the kids. I don't doubt that they can be good parents, but in perspective, the child could be facing the loss of said parent at age 12 or 13 (or younger even).

So you're judging her?

I thought judging other people was taboo with liberals?

Yeah, you're right...I should leave that to the "right"....they are so much better at it...

Judging by how good you seem to be at it, are you sure you're not a closet Dittohead?

I also don't really care a whole lot for the idea of such older women having babies. The first indication that they're done childbearing should be their body not allowing them to get pregnant. I mean, it's only going to be a short time until they're not going to be so able to get down and play with their kids, plus they face the risk of getting sick and the child having to take care of them or even dying.

it occurs to me that if she wasn't supposed to have it (leaving out whether she should or shouldn't with 11 kids, when people who've never had ONE can't get IVF), then her body would not have handled the pregnancy at all and she'd have miscarried.

modern health technology can do a lot....

But your point about when people who never had a child can't get invitro, seems an important one to me.

What a way to start the golden years

Leaving aside the fact that stories like this make me screamingly jealous as a woman who can't even have ONE child, she must be insane to be trying to get pregnant so late in life... it sounds horribly dangerous!

By the time this child graduates from High school, she will be 80 years old. This child is not going to have a mother that can do all those things that strengthen the bond. This child is going to go through the mile stones in his or her life without the neccessary support.

Personally, I figure that there's a reason a woman's body doesn't bear children after a certain age (whatever individual age that is), and that messing with that reason isn't necessarily good.

In these stories of women having kids at these ages, I always feel for the kids. I don't doubt that they can be good parents, but in perspective, the child could be facing the loss of said parent at age 12 or 13 (or younger even).

I completely agree! Dont interfere with nature, there is a reason why woman cant have children after a certain age. In this situation you really need to think about the childs needs before your own. That poor child is not going to have their parent around for a long time.
