Orphans

For years there has been debate about older women taking advantage of technological advances in fertility and having children later and later, I have never understood how the point could be debated, to hold a debate you need to have  opposing points to put forward, in this case there is no argument to let a woman in her 60’s have a child. I don’t believe you should be able to have a baby once your body is to old to do it itself, but I’m all for science helping Women who for many reasons cant conceive naturally. Women give birth at young ages so that they are physically able to care for their young, this is not random, nature in its wisdom made this decision a long time ago. Recently Maria Carmen Del Bousada became the oldest woman in the world to give birth using anonymously donated  sperm and eggs, she gave birth to twin sons in 2006, yesterday she died aged 69. Even if she had lived another 10 years those boys would be orphaned at 12 years of age. I challenge anyone to give me a sensible argument why this should be allowed.
