A selfish exhausted woman!
I hope that there’s some loving relative who will take the girls. But, hey, what the heck? Maria died fulfilled, right?
I think the potential problems from a govt being able to decide who can or can’t have kids far out-strip the problems that rare cases like this might cause.
Do you take the same attitude towards a woman in her thirties, who already has children and goes ahead and gets pregnant again, despite already having had breast cancer? She’s got an even higher chance of leaving her children without a mother in a very few years, but most FReepers seem to regard that sort of thing as heroic.
Yes, she is selfish. So are older men.
“Bousada told an interviewer she lied to the fertility clinic about her age, and maintained that because her mother had lived to be 101, she had a good chance of living long enough to raise a child.”
Well, she’s dead wrong.
