At 54 I don't even want to consider chasing after a toddler 24/7. Why would a woman do this?

She needs her tubes cut, and the baby stuffed back inside her uterus.

It's traumatizing to have parents older than everyone elses, especially 2 or 3 decades older.

To have one last child and at the same time be remembered as the oldest woman ever to give birth (until the next one). Out of interest, does the birth giving mean she was pre-menopausal, or that women's uterus' are still viable post-menopause?

Well considering that older people usually give birth to kids with defects (either mental or physical) I don't even want to imagine how screwed up this kid is gonna be..

As this was her 3rd try at this, I would assume she had taken hormones to prevent the onset of menopause. You gotta wonder about the doctor that would assist her with this.

At least, until she dies in about a decade. I assume that this would have been her first child, so let's hope she has some extended family to take this kid lest it become a ward of the state.

This woman should have adopted years ago.

I wonder if she's thought this through. She will be 84 when the child is ready to go off to college.

DIE DIE DIE. She must DIE. She and her child must DIE.

*ferocious*

When will people learn the evils of overpopulation. WHEN?!!

IMHO, This is a good thing.

Now just listen for a moment, as science continues to extend our life expectancy, people will be having children at older ages. It's the natural way of such a change.

Remember, twelve and fourteen year olds used to give birth and die around the age of twenty or twenty-five.

This isn't anything knew and while she is quite physically older then she should be to raise a child, eventually people will be having children at 100 with the body of a 30 year old.

ya gotta stop a second and think of the big picture.

As for overpopulation, whats wrong with having one or two child per couple? That way, population decreases over time.

How will you get homeless women who have ten kids so she can get aid that she uses to buy fancy cloths with to just have one or two kids? Or someone in africa who raises virgins so that people can screw them to cure their AIDS? Or who about those guys that just go to women to women every saterday and never talk to any of the women again?
