I don't approve of in-vitro... but I suspect that the main nay-sayers here aren't going to be critics of her reproductive technology, but critics of her having twelve kids. And at her age... like Sarah!
Giving birth to, loving, providing for, and raising a child is generous in every sense of the word. And there is nothing in this article to suggest that all of her children, including this youngest one, haven't been well-loved, well-provided-for, and well-raised.
So, I would argue that her use of in-vitro was bebatable; but as for this generous woman's generative contribution, God bless her.
Her kids and grandkids will construct the world of tomorrow ---- will pay for and care for US in our old age, either directly or through their taxes. And this grand old lady is only making up for the gays and the "child-free" couples (heterosexual gays) who don't have any kids at all.
Children enrich our world.

"Wulf and her third husband, Scott, 48,"
Maybe she wore the others out and decided to go for a younger one? Lol.

It's a relief to know this didn't happen without medical intervention. To me it's a relief anyway.

"Wulf said Friday that she considers her late-in-life pregnancy a groundbreaking act for older women. Age is a number. You're as old as you feel, she said. Every time you revolutionize something or you do something different, there's going to be naysayers.
Well.....raising a child at age 62 could be QUITE a challenge.....here's hoping she and hubbie are up to it...

I don't know, Don-o, but the article gives the impression that it's all about her and her own self-fulfillment.
But I wish the family all the best.

I think that in-vitro is okay for a young couple in child bearing age. However, I don't think that a 62 year old woman should be having this.
To: jocon307
AMEN! Also I helped by not having kids at all so she had my share and then some.

It's true that raising a child at 62 is a challenge. But there are lots of grandparents who are raising grandkids. And this particular child has a rich and plentiful family to lend a hand (hands) (dozens of hands.)

Aging can give one pause!
But not this "young lady"

I don't approve of in-vitro... >>
Neither does the Catholic Church since many embryo's/children are created and subsequently destroyed while the one baby gets to see the light of day while the others are discarded, used for embryonic stem cell research, and others put on ice indefinitely. It's a mortal sin and grounds for excommunication.

Does anyone know what is the highest number of children a woman has ever had?

I hate to raise one alone, without a sibling, said Wulf, who was impregnated both times through in vitro fertilization.
