66-year old Pregnant Woman
Not sure if this story was posted before....about the Pregnant 66-year old British woman.
Thoughts?
I think it''s a bit selfish, honestly. I think getting pregnant at her age serves her own personal needs more than her children''s - to have parents around to guide, nurture and protect them as they grow. With life expectancy being as it is, she''s probably won''t see them into their teenage years. And even if she does - how will she able to manage them into her late 70''s/80''s? She''s pretty much setting up a situation in which her children may be''motherless'' from a young age, or at least, with her mother who may not be able to keep up with their needs as they grow. I realize that mothers at any age can die - anything can happen. But the likelihood that she won''t be around for long is much greater than for women in their 20''s and 30''s.
I think there''s a good reason reproduction slows down with age. I really feel she''s pushing it...
