World's Oldest Mom Dies

The "World's Oldest" mom died at 69. She gave birth to twins three years ago.

What doctor agreed to do this? Who on earth thought this would be a good idea?

Our bodies stop preparing us for babies for a reason. Sure, Mama knows she could go outside and get hit by a car but I have less of a chance of dying at 30 than at 69.

Women really should stop and think about what is in the best interest of babies instead of selfish motives. Having a baby at 60 something years old is selfish. Those babies won't even REMEMBER her which Mama thinks could be both good and bad.

Mama read this morning that a 72 year old woman is spending boucoup dollars to become the world's oldest mother. Why is this a competition? Go to the hospital and rock babies. Go work in a daycare. You have no business putting a baby in that predicament. Best case scenario: the baby is full term and healthy. You die and leave the baby motherless. Worst case scenario: the child is born with severe special needs and you die...leaving the baby motherless and needing a lifetime of care. Does this really sound like a reasonable, sound parenting decision?!

I could not agree more.

I heard about this story yesterday in the news, and it makes me sick that doctors are willing to implant women this late in life. Where are the ethics? It just seems so selfish on both ends.

Very tragic for the children left behind.
