Oldest Mother at 63


The article below is from thr BBC website.

A controversial fertility doctor has defended his decision to give IVF to a 63-year-old woman who is set to become Britain's oldest mother.
Severino Antinori says he only treated psychiatrist Patricia Rashbrook, of East Sussex, in an unnamed European country after strict medical checks.
Dr Rashbrook, who is seven months pregnant with her fourth child, said she was delighted with the pregnancy.
Dr Antinori said age 62 or 63 was the upper limit for IVF in healthy women.
We are very happy to have given life to an already much-loved baby
Farrants' statement
He said he would only consider couples with at least 20 years' life expectancy left for fertility treatment, but argued that older people made better parents
Good luck to her I say. I would rather have the whole town filled with 63 year old mothers pushing their babies around than rafts of 13 year old mothers dragging theirs.
If you buy a dog, you need a license. If you re-home a dog, you get the third degree plus a home visit from the charity concerned. If you pup a brat, you just spread your legs around the back of Tesco and the government give you a cash handout!
