The race for the world's oldest mother

It is customary for a woman's fecundity to end with menopause. Thanks to recent advances in assisted reproductive technology there seems to be a new trend, having babies long after God intended you to. IVF was developed for mothers who were having trouble conceiving. Try telling that to mother of 10 children and 20 grandchildren, Janise Wulf, who delivered a baby boy through IVF at age 62.

Maria del Carmen Bousada de Lara of Spain delivered twins at the age of 66, Cheryl Tiegs had twins at 52, Geena Davis twins at 48 and let's not forget the 66-year-old unmarried Romanian professor, Adriana Iliescu, who gave birth to a baby girl after using sperm from an anonymous donor. When Adriana Iliescu's daughter enters high school she will be 80 years old.

Ethically, shouldn't there be a collective age limit for both parents of 130 to ensure that these children are taken care of, especially in the instances where there are no siblings? Single parents over the age of 45 should not even consider IVF treatment. In countries where an age limit has been imposed and women are leaving for Vietnam or Russia to receive IVF treatments, some kind of penalty should be imposed!




This is just fucking sick!!!!!.....
World's oldest mother gives birth to twins at 70

Grandmother Omkari Panwar has given birth to twins at the age of 70. She was utterly determined to have a son. To pay for the IVF treatment vital to producing a male heir to the family's smallholdings, the retired farmer sold his buffalos, mortgaged his land, spent his life savings and took out a credit card loan.
And it all paid off when Mrs Panwar gave birth to twins - a boy and girl. The Panwars already have two adult daughters, and five grandchildren, but the latest arrivals are what they have been waiting for - not least because a son will benefit from a dowry when he marries and will be able to work their land.

Proud parents:
