Just saw a show on tv where fertility drugs gave a 70 year old woman her first child...OMG!

So, so selfish. Good to hear the clinic doing this was not in the U.S. Still - disgusting though.

This is what we get for trying to play God.

If we let nature take its course, things like this wouldn't happen.

And kudos to the person suggesting the doctor have his licensed revoked. Foolish person that he/she is......

That story is actually from 2008.

Here is an update from 2010....and guess what ??? the baby is 18 months old and she is dying!!! and the article mentions a 66 year old that had triplets!!!

Just to clarify, the mother is (was) dying, not the baby.

I think the story is sad, but I really can't get outraged about it. Nothing is guaranteed; you can have a baby at 21 and not live to see that baby grow up.

Just because you can do it, doesn't mean you should.
