      Maybe I’m an a-hole but this just seems insanely selfish to me. That kid could be an orphan before they hit puberty.

      I love the part where OP provided a source so we can go learn more about this

    3. Dad died a year later at 84. She is still alive at 81. They were able to get pregnant via ivf with donner eggs.

      Those parents are assholes. They’re also probably already dead and that child is an orphan.

    5. Why would you even want a kid at that age? You’ll be dead and gone when they’re still young.

    6. This is dangerous and cruel.

      That child will grow up without their parents for most of their life.

      There are so many kids out there who could be adopted instead. But humans are selfish and just want copies of themselves to feel “fulfilled”.

    7. I know I’m going to be downvoted to hell, but creating children should not be a right. I don’t believe in eugenics and I completely understand any sort of legislation will ultimately result in eugenics, but we as human beings need to consider the ethical and moral choice of bringing an unconsenting human being into this world and the circumstances they will be born into. Way too many “parents” only think about themselves and don’t give a single thought about their children or what that child will go through and endure. There’s genuinely no way these people thought they would live long enough to see their child grow up, they only thought about themselves and what they wanted. I think humanity as a whole would deal with a lot less negativity and strife if having kids was a much heavier thought than it is.

      My dad’s parents were almost 50 when my grandmother realized she was pregnant; the doctor told her that she was crazy, and reminded her that she’d been through ‘the change’ so it was out of the question. He did a test, just to placate her, and sent her home with instructions to rest – a week or so later, he showed up at their door one night after dinner, came in, and dropped into a kitchen chair, telling them that she wasn’t crazy, but he felt like he was, as she was indeed pregnant. My dad was born a little over 3 mos later.
