I can see her point that she wants too have a child, but another point she's too old and people will say she's being selfish. Is she being used spending all her money on this and it will never happen?

Just read the link........ It's all very well to say age doesn't matter because mothers die at any age. Which of course is correct but a women of 72 is kind of stacking the odds against herself isn't she, that any child born would be left motherless sooner rather than later. Also there are the increased risks to child and mother involved with late pregancies.

I have to say I'm with Barbara Walters on this one. If the doctors go ahead with this it is surely nothing short of irresponsible. Just because something could possibly be done, doesn't neccesrily mean it should be done.

How selfish is this? We all have things that we want but can't have and I think this woman should have lived with this. The poor child is likely to be motherless in its teens.
