Well, quite a few scriptural characters gave birth in old age. The wondrous miracles continue, and ought to be used in a "South Park" episode.

The unnamed woman who was giving birth for the first time is one year older than Romanian Adriana Iliescu who had a baby girl in January aged 66. She had been pregnant with twins but one died in the womb.

I would say the ethics of the doctor(s) involved in this case are lacking to say the least.

This woman should not be giving birth at this age.

the probability of birth defects increases after age 35. The long term effect on the health of children of geriatric mothers is certainly unknown.

And chances of the mother seeing her children to adulthood is low.
