Woman gives birth to twins at age 70.

So what's the opinion on anglosphere about older women giving birth?

Should the medical profession assist women wishing to conceive beyond menopause?

Gee, I do not think it is right, what about if she dies now, where will be the Mother?

PS. No wonder there are so many Indian people in the World now ;)Łukasz G. edytował(a) ten post dnia 08.07.08 o godzinie 10:41

I bet this causes more horror in Poland than in other countries. Not sure why.

It would be too easy to label what's wrong and right in this way.
What about if a 20-something dies, where will be the Mother, heh?
If a woman can have a baby at 70, she's rather healthy.
Probability is not the answer. Or is it. If a 20-something is ill (ilness is not a threat to the child), should or shouldn't she have a baby?Kamila G. edytował(a) ten post dnia 08.07.08 o godzinie 12:11

Partially I agree with Your opinion. But in my opinion this woman is selfish. Would You like to have a mother who is 70 years old ?
It is almost sure that she die on 20 years (perhaps earlier) - who will rise this child ?

I think, that probability of death is obvious, comparing pregnant Mother of 70 and 20-sthg. (Btw...Kamila, I assume, you’ve heard about our volleyball player Agata Mróz-Olszewska. Could we treat this as the answer to yr question?)

As I think, in this case the point is, whether it is or should be normal or put into practice to deliver the child when you're old woman, simply saying, having a husband more or less in the same age, so without any perspectives to raise the child, to educate, etc.?? So, why...what for doing this? And no matter where...in the world such situations could take place.
Of course, you can say, that there are strong reasons for that Mum in age of 70 decided to give birth to a child. And you also know very well, that as in each controversial case there are + and - .

I've got twins. I feel 70. I wonder does she feel 30? Or 110?

My grandma being a twin herself had twins three times (she had also single child births). But she was a young woman.
The twin gene runs in my family...

The idea of twins scares me. Luckily, no twins in my family. And am probably not going to have any more kids anyway, but even if I do, I hope it won't me more than one.
On second thought, if you have twins, they're able to play together and don't occupy your time so much, unless I'm mistaken. Keith?Tatiana S. edytował(a) ten post dnia 08.07.08 o godzinie 17:45

Needless to say, this is not normal and it shouldn't be allowed to apply medical means of help to women beyond menopause.
This is bad, wherever you live.
Would it be ok in Swindon, Dave?

This birth has nothing to do with fertility treatment and can therefore be regarded as 'natural'.

Nature decides when women are too old to give birth, and generally speaking we shouldn't argue too much with nature.

Not true. That IS the fertility treatment.
IVF: in vitro fertilisation

Yup.

A sidenote: IVF is not given to women older than 40.

Yes, I heard of Agata... But what is the answer? Personally, I had very mixed feelings about that story.
As I think, in this case the point is, whether it is or should be normal or put into practice to deliver the child when you're old woman, simply saying, having a husband more or less in the same age, so without any perspectives to raise the child, to educate, etc.??

There are perspectives to raise and educate the child, just smaller, and that's very risky, yes. But the perspectives are there - if a woman gives birth at 70 in a natural way, that's an extraordinary thing and I guess her health is extraordinary. If she lives into her 90s, the child will be about 20, which makes him/her (if I remember well, it's a boy) capable of taking care for himself and coming to terms with the parent's death. We also know nothing about their family situation, perhaps there is younger family who can support the child.

I'm not saying it's typical, neither do I see just a bright future and no problems in here. I'm not saying it 'should be
normal or put into practice to deliver the child when you're old > woman'
- how could that be made normal or put into practice by anybody, anyway? Or how could it be stopped from happening - by making illegal?

My voice into discussion is rather about the basis on which we can label such events as right or wrong, or state whether something should or shouldn't happen. For me, there are just no easy answers here. It's like saying that snow shouldn't happen in April. Yeah, sure it's better when it happens at Christmas, where it belongs, and when crops don't suffer from cold. Sure I'm for responsible parenting, planned pregnancy, clear future with stable income, etc.

For me there's little difference between those elderly couple's responsibility/perspectives and the responsibility/perspectives of a young couple who are having a baby but have very little income. Logically. Putting logic aside, I don't know why, but I have more warm thoughts for the elderly couple...Kamila G. edytował(a) ten post dnia 08.07.08 o godzinie 18:51

I think it might be less likely to run into the knee-jerk "nienaturalny" response.
