I'm sorry, but this is kind of sick. Doctors and scientists are conducting experiments for their own sake, while there's still no cure for AIDS, cancer, malaria, even the common cold. Not to mention, they're spending god-knows-how-much money using humans as guinea pigs while thousands of children die each day of starvation, malnutrition, easily treatable diseases. And of course, another downside of having such an old mother is that you're at much higher risk for birth defects, schizophrenia and the like.

patasarriba, I agree with you in general. It is very questionable for people to become parents at these advanced ages. On the other hand, I disagree with this comment:
