Pregnant at 63...

[~Wayne~]

This is just plain wrong in my eyes.

They say they have thechilds best interests in mind but how can they? Soon they'll be too old to even care for the child properly. I really don't get some people they really need to know when to stop. By time child is 10 the mother will be 73, thats just wrong on the child imo 'cause it'll end up looking after them at that age!

Anyone else got any thoughts about this or think is it acceptable or just plain wrong...

[God.]

look as Des O'Connor...now that's even worse.

[Hevz]

i agree i think tht it's jst plain wrong! by the time it's a teenager, when it needs it's parents most she'll b like 80! i dn't think they ave gt the childs best interests in mind she jst wants a child and while i feel for her in tht way, bcos she must b desperate to have children it's jst plain wrong!

[~Wayne~]

Yeah they had to go abroad for someone to even see them they're that old...just wrong

[Hevz]

it shud b illegal in every country! bt tht's nt guna appen!

[Sponge'K'nob]

this is really wrong.
and just think they wont see their grandchildren or watch their kids grow up!

[~Wayne~]

Yeah always someone who will go that low to earn money~the doctor in this case~, they're even saying the birth could cause her serious problems...whats up with some people?

[Lindsay]

having a baby that age is also very risky both for the mother, but more so for the baby. The chances of mental illness and mental retardation, such as down syndrom, are much higher.

[~Wayne~]

I have absolutely no clue why someone would put themselves through this at all

[clueless]

She is currently 7 months pregnant. I don't think she is being selfish and reckon that many people are just being far too judgemental of her. If she can provide the child with love, care and affection, and also has the ability to look after the child, then good luck to her! There are plenty of children out there who would love to be in a family where their parents actually wanted them. Even if the parents are to die in the next 20 years, the child can be assured that they were loved.

[~Wayne~]

The thing is I highly doubt that the parents will be able to properly look after the child

i think its pretty selfish.
She had her whole life to have as many kids as she wanted, and by having a baby at her age is risking a lot. Its not fair to risk having a child with down symdrom or some other mental retardation just because you have a sudden urge to have a baby. And its not like she's ever going to see it get married or have grandkids or any of that fun stuff.
And the kid is going to get made fun of like crazy
"haha, your mom is 70"

[~Wayne~]

Yeah there is so many things they did not take into consideration...

[Ben]

it's not fair on the kid at all. his/her parents will be too old to do anything with him/her and will be way older than all the other parents.

his/her parents will be dead soon, and he'll have to live with that a lot longer than normal kids. also his/her kids will have to deal without their grandparents for longer than normal.

[Sponge'K'nob]

yeah all what everyone said.
i think its selfish as i said before about the whole grandparent thing.
the child may have serious mental problems or learning difficulties.
The parents will bring the child up as they did in the past, sorta different "fashions" to todays life.
The way i see it. They've had their chance to have kids, way too old now!

[~Wayne~]

They basically ruined the kids life without even starting it

[Pearson]

The child will grow up like an old person, Itl wear its trousers to high up, talk about the weather all day, complain about everything and comment on how fat or skinny people are. This can only be a bad thing.

[Fairy]

eww gross.A 63 year old having sex!Thats just unclean.It must be really saggy!I'm gonna vommit!

[~Wayne~]

The point is they didn't :P they had treatment to get pregnant but yes your right it is a horrid thought

[Tim]

a woman being pregnant at 63 is just wrong

[Ben]

mmm...having sex with a 63 year old. it would be like opening a cheese toastie.

[God.]

Oh man!

That was... oh man!

hahaha! Cheese toastie indeed! rofl!

[Sponge'K'nob]

ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww lol
thats just wrong.
when she has that poor child shes in danger just as much as the child.
ther should be an age limit haha

[Tim]

the child needs to be aborted now. or he/she will grow up serverly mentally distraught when parents die early in life

[Pearson]

And he/she will wear there trousers too high

[Tim]

Whats your point here sparrow?

[Stephanie]

Am I missing something? How are the couple going to conceive? Surely this woman would have started menopause atleast 20 years ago or so...? And shouldn't the man be infertile by now? Or has modern science made this possible? I sure as hell hope not because if old people start having kids then we're all doomed. The orphanages would be over-crowded and there'd be a larger demand for psyciatric hospitals and learning disability centres. Not to mention the trousers being worn up high factor (had to be repeated :P). Man, this is sick. This woman shouldn't be allowed. This could be the beginning of what could be The End of the World.

[Sponge'K'nob]

chemical and test tube babies n shit most likely. but i must say that is a very good point!!

[Ben]

they can't make laws agianst this sort of thing cos of all the people out there saying "oh but that baby deserves a chance and if you banned it you'd be killing a baby. how could you sleep at night witth all those dead babies going through your mind?" - bloody hippies

[clueless]

i think you haters should take some time out. How do you know these people will not be able to provide the child with everything the child can ever want? There are people being born with disabilities all the time. Should we now stop all blind couples having a baby too because their baby might have it hard in life?

And about the crude comments about the way child may be brought up, old fashioned in every sense of the word is extremely sterotypical. There are plenty of YOUNG people who choose to act like ancient people, so it is extremely unfair of you to play that card.

At the end of the day, the couple love each other and they want to pass that love onto their child. Whatever they do in their own time, is their own business- not mine nor yours. They are going to bring the child into the world, they are going to take care of it. They didn't go through all this hardship to have a baby then abandon it, like many of the people who replied to this thread are making out to be the case.

[Sponge'K'nob]

bullshit.
were giving our opinions just like you are, were not saying what should and should happen, just givin our views on the subject. Maybe the child will be fine, who knows, but the risk are very high for both mother and child to die at birth, whats the point in that?

You said it yourself, that old people shouldn't be having children so try to be alittle more respectful when someone who opposes your opinion, gives their view on the matter. :)

Yes, a child born to a woman over the age barrier of 40 has a greater chance of having a disability, just like first cousins having a child together run a greater risk of having a child which is disabled. So what? There are always risks, in everything. It doesn't mean you should start condemning this woman.

[Sponge'K'nob]

im only thinking of the risks, 63 for god sake! who knows how much longer she has left and the birth could be a bad thing, good on her if it all goes well.

[Pearson]

I was waiting for that 'joke' to come out in the debate section, God, my sides are splitting.

For those of you who dont realise im being sarcastic.

[Ben]

since when was that a joke?

[Pearson]

since when was that a joke?

Come off it flower, you were trying to be funny. It failed, then you say 'since when was that a joke.' Thats not going to get you out of the fact that the joke you just said was horrendous.

[Sponge'K'nob]

i actually laughed....

[Pearson]

i actually laughed....

O dear lol. Some people are easily amused I suppose.

[Sponge'K'nob]

aye, thats me =D hehe.
oh jeez.....i sound like bobeth with the whole "aye" HELP!!!!

[clueless]

thankyou for proving my point, and justifying your username. clueless. ha ha. extremely amusing. couldn't you have formulated a more constructive post?

LOL! like sexy biatch sed we r jst putting our thoughts on the matter. i'm nt doubting tht these people wn't b able 2 provide things 4 this child bt really? everything it could ever want? lol they rn't guna b around for most of it's life! and yeh there r ppl being born with disabilities all the time surely they need lively active, people around to make their lives better places to be. i personally think it wud b bad enough to be born and have your parents die early in your life bt if ur born with a disability and u dn't have parents either tht wud jst b terrible! Also name calling is very stereotypical bt u sayin tht on a forum isn't guna stop it from happenin kids in school av bin called names since schools were probs invented and probably will for as long as they r around tht's the way life is and who knows wot problems tht is guna cause for tht poor child!
By abandon this child i think we mean the fact tht they rn't goin 2 b aroun 2 support this child though things like university, marriage and to see thier grandchildren nt actually abandon it in the way u mean.

Hahahahaha just noticed that pmsl!

well "those people (ie bloody hippies)" have nothing to bitch about. Saying "oh but that baby deserves a chance and if you banned it you'd be killing a baby. how could you sleep at night witth all those dead babies going through your mind?" would make no sense what so ever. How could you kill a baby that never even existed to begin with?

[~Wayne~]

If they did introduce laws against this people would go elsewhere as these did to get pregnant
