She will be 78 when her child graduates from high-school. I know it is a miracle but I just don't know!

I think it is wrong. I am not judging her, I don't know her, but I am saying that the child is most likely going to grow up without her/his mom to be around for prom, graduation, wedding, birth of grandchildren. i went through that and I don't think it is right at all. I think she did it to make a point and the only person to suffer will be the child.

Well... I have to say to each their own, you know?
But I would worry something would happen to me before the children were 18. Although she does have adult children and they apparently are affluent due to their jobs, I believe the children would be well cared for should she and her husband not live to care for them, I would still worry.
As an added note, you can screw up a kid's life no matter what age you have them!!! Just think of all the children in DSS custody. At least hers will be taken care of should something happen.
The point that she was making is that childrearing doesn't have to end at 60.

i understand that she would want more kids, but having twins at this age is unreasonable. Can you imagine your mom drop you off at school when you are 6 in a wheelchair? Or your mom not being able to be healthy enough to come to your 6th grade play? It is much tougher on the kids than it is on the parent. Unfortunately, the woman is not going to get to see her kids become adults, and the kids will have to deal with all the embarassment and teasing, not the mom. it must be tough to want to play around and rough play with your parents, when they are fragile and delicate. Two rambunctious little boys are not going to be able to stay in the house all day and keep their parents company. I am not saying the mom was evil or gross, but she should have thought for the kids more. Maybe she can handle it, and maybe she can raise two twin boys. Let's hope so, I am sure we all want the best for those twins.

I think it's fine. She's healthy and can provide for the children. I'm sure the children will be thrilled when they're old enough that they have their lives!
If we're going to have an age cut-off for pregnancies, we should probably have an age minimum, too, let's say 22. And of course we should have a household income minimum, too, because how selfish is it to give birth if you're too poor to provide for your children? And single mothers should be forced to abort, because every child needs two parents....see where I'm going with this? It's no one else's business when you choose to procreate as long as you are not abusing or neglecting your children. Because if we make one rule, we're heading down a very, very slippery slope. And *plenty* of children have their parents die while they are young, there is nothing you can do to control that....and there is nothing to say that this mother isn't going to live to be a healthy 100!

I think she is a horribly selfish person who is depriving her children of a mother right when they will need her most (young adulthood). Who would have liked having to go through the trials and tribulations of adolescence while trying to find a good nursing home and pureeing their mother's food?
She said she "wanted to take some of the stigma off older mothers." She said "older" not "elderly," mind you. What a goof.
She doesn't even stop to think of the wrongfulness of her actions. Why would someone force the human body to do something it is no longer naturally able to do? Her doctors are just as irresponsible and immoral as she is. What a bunch of thoughtless headline grabbers.

I think this woman must be insane, who in their right mind would want to have a newborn to take care of at 60. Babies take a lot of energy and she doesn't just have one she has two. I hope she is a very youthful and energetic 60 because she has got a hard road ahead of her.

personally i would say 60 is to old to be having kids when the kid graduates the child will be 18 and that would suck for the kid because say it is a boy the father assuming he is around the same age wouldnt be able to play sports with him and do things guys do.

Why is everyone so interested in this? Who cares! It's not your life so why choose to pass judgement. How does this affect you in any possible way? You don't know anythign about this woman! I have met 60 year old women who are much more physically and emotionally capable of having a child as some 20 year olds out there!
I am simply amazed at the judgements passed here. People are talking about living off social security, wheelchairs, death, being an invalid, breaking a hip. Seriously!? You don't know anything about this woman! You don't know her health history. You don't know her physical capabilities whatsoever. My mother-in-law is approaching 60 and she is perfectly healthy and agile and physically fit. 60 is not a death sentence!

I think she is already too old to get out and play with the kid like she could have 30 or 40 years ago. Imagine her 10 years from now. It is sad.
