Meh.

I don't see how this has anything to do with female empowerment or feminism. I mean... no one was trying to really discourage older women from having children, they just physically (normally) are unable to.

I am surprised this woman hasn't hit menopause to be honest.

Whatever. This isn't female empowerment, it is evolution. Women are not hitting menopause as early as they once were. So what. Such is life.

I personally wouldn't want to have kids that old, but to each their own. If it makes them happy, so be it.

P.S. What is with the feminist hatred?

I think a lot of you confuse feminism with feminazism, which are two very different things.

At what cost ? Surely the welfare of the children must also be considered.

that's because feminazism is the more famous cousin.

they're very similar, nowadays. a lot if not most of them don't want equality--they see women as being clearly superior to men, in a twisted bit of irony.

You could say that about everything.

If she wants them, and is capable of having them, then why not?

Who are you or anyone else to be making judgements on her decision to have kids at a later age? Who said having children at a younger age is better anyway?

Meh. I think a bunch of you are jumping on the band waggon with this whole "welfare of the children" thing. There are kids who are born to alcoholic/druggy/psycho/single parent/unwanting families (who are young) all the time. What about them?

At least this family wants them enough to go out of their way to have them, and most likely are situated in their lives well enough to provide them a loving and secure home. Age shouldn't be a factor.

Parents have to die some day. Theirs will die a little younger in their lives, but at least they will have had a good up-bringing... which is a lot more than a lot of people can say.

I don't think you have a clue of what you are talking about.

nobody is jumping on the child welfare bandwagon. seeing kids born to alcoholics and psychos is bad enough. but that doesn't take away the irresponsibility these people who should be grandparents at this age. Bringing kids into this world knowing that you cannot give them your best is something which is totally unacceptable. People shouldn't really be this selfish. Just because technology has given you the power to act unnaturally does not mean you have to use it.
