Good gawd. Another lady as old as my mom just had twins. What's with this trend?
I cannot even imagine what Frieda Birnbaum's (the mother in question's) body must have gone through before, during, and after pregnancy. I mean, I listen to my mom, who is in great shape for her age, talk about her arthritis and knee problems and I cannot imagine her getting pregnant.
Eff being politically correct. I'm gonna say it: I find this trend disturbing. And I'm not even being ageist. I'm just questioning whether its ethical for women in their sixties to undergo all kinds of invasive procedures at the expense of their own health in order to have kids, especially since mentioned in the same breath as the births are always the disgusting "world record" stats. Ladies, there are plenty of other ways to become a parent.
Sure there is the argument that people are living better and longer these days, but still. Women having babies in their sixties? You know that it's just a matter of time before a 70-year-old tries it. Then what?
