Comments on: World’s Oldest New Mother Lies to Get IVF http://thebritgirl.com/2007/01/31/worlds-oldest-new-mother-lies-to-get-ivf/ The Interests of a Childfree Brit Living in Toronto Fri, 05 Dec 2008 12:59:32 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.5 By: Britgirl http://thebritgirl.com/2007/01/31/worlds-oldest-new-mother-lies-to-get-ivf/#comment-903 Britgirl Sun, 04 Feb 2007 22:53:21 +0000 http://thebritgirl.com/2007/01/31/worlds-oldest-new-mother-lies-to-get-ivf/#comment-903 @Epona... yes, we will be faced with "well there's still time to change your mind, now that women are able to have kids in their 50s/60s/70s... and good point on IVF... here of course we have the old double standard hard at work. If it's to have a child it makes everything ok. An abortion to plan your family/protect the woman/any other reason is NOT o.k. But of course, we know that half of the flak that abortion gets is because a) the child must come first, meaning the woman is secondary, and b) because a woman can exert control over her own body and that control means the child will not come first. @Hillari - never mind two kids. What about even one kid?? How can a single retired woman of nearly 70 afford to bring up even one kid? - Answer she can't - hence she needs a wealthy young strapping lad to take care of it. @Epona… yes, we will be faced with “well there’s still time to change your mind, now that women are able to have kids in their 50s/60s/70s… and good point on IVF… here of course we have the old double standard hard at work.

Assuming she's on a fixed income, why did she think that money would be enough to raise a couple of kids? That's beyond stupidity. She’s retired?

We'll never be free from it >:-( I really hate IVF with a passion. The people who really want a kid, and can't have one, should adopt. It is very selfish to just HAVE to have your own DNA replicant. And IVF on someone at that age is just even MORE rediculous. How come Xtians say abortion is playing God, but IVF is just great?

I think what this woman did is completely fuckwitted. In fact, it's beyond fuckwittedness. No concern at all for those children. Only someone's so-called, imagined "right" to have a child. Worse than selfish. Yes, I too was gobsmacked when I read it. I think what this woman did is completely fuckwitted. In fact, it’s beyond fuckwittedness. No concern at all for those children.
