I hope that she has a lot of extended family to be there to raise the children when they are ten and want to go places and do things and their 70 year old Mom doesn't feel up to it.  Why are people soooo selfish about their needs and don't think about the little people they are bringing into the world?????

I think that this is unfair to the child.  The parent to these children will be without parents young in life. 

 

While it is possible for a woman her age to become pregnant naturally (not at all common though), I see no reason for a woman her age to use outside measures to become pregnant.  She has children, and 5 grandchildren, and now those children and possibly grandchildren will be responsible for raising her new twins should anything happen to her due to her age.  I don't think that she really gave this a whole lot of thought as to what would happen to her newborn babies if she suffered some ill fate.  Best of luck to this family. 

 

Why is everyone so concerned about what other people do in their lives?  I just turned 50 and if I decided that I wanted more children and was healthy enough to have them then whos business is it?  I am sure that there would be plenty of her family members to take care of the children if she passes on-but who knows, she could live another 25 years!  I think we should all live our own lives and not comment on everybody elses.

I am having a very hard time understanding why people think they have a right to get in everyone elses' business.  I believe these women have a right to have all the children they want.  It is their lives.  Who are we to tell other people what they should or should not do?  I am sorry, but in today's world we have enough issues going on in our own lives....Stay out of other people's business...

I believe one should stop having children when their reproductive organs say so.  Having had a child at 42 the old fashion way, I am now 61 and he is almost 20. My child was a special needs child, and it took all my energy to advocate and fight for his rights all through his school years.  Now we are doing the same as he has entered the work world and still needs some guidance.  I'm with Jonealy however, and hope she has extended family to help her for the sake of the twins.  Leave mother nature alone - she knows when it's time to stop reproducing...
