Nonsense. She didn't become the "worlds oldest mother at 66". My own mother is well into her 80's.
She is a selfish person. Too bad but that is the truth.
Prayers for the lady’s health.
She is not the worlds oldest mother. My great grandma (who was a mother) lived to 102.
A pregnancy can sometimes bring on cancer. Doctors thought that caused my daughter-in-laws cancer.
Would you say the same to a 25 year old who had already been diagnosed with breast cancer? Somehow I doubt it.
I think at 66 yrs old it is very wrong & the doctors should not have helped her. But I had Sassy at 41 yrs old & many people told me to abort because I would be an “old mother”. Funny those very same people love Sassy to death now & tend to forget that they thought I was crazy to be a mom that old...
My best freind’s father was 72 when he was born. He died at about 82 when my freid was 10. My dad, on the other hand, started early and is only 18 years older than me. I’ve spent a lifetime doing things with my dad that’s more akin to things brother do.
My freid was robbed of a father and this women’s offspring likely will too.
People, focus your ire and opinions more toward the young, single, poor women who are having babies. Those children are in far MORE trouble. A mature woman who has plenty of resources (emotional and financial) should be able to have children if she wants. These children will be fine, and I hope and pray this woman beats her cancer.
I couldn’t have children young either and I am so grateful to G-d that He has given them to me now.
How many wonderful people HAVE been raised by grandparents, anyway? Let’s be fair.
Today, the Daily Mail (UK) posted this article:
World's oldest mother, 66, who lied about her age to get IVF, is 'stricken by cancer'
FTA: "Yesterday she told a Spanish television show: "I have been presented with an illness, a very serious illness."
She would not reveal what it was but added: "It is one which is fashionable at the moment."
Some observers said this suggested either breast cancer - of which Kylie Minogue was a victim - or intestinal cancer, which is afflicting Farrah Fawcett.
Miss Bousada added: "I am having treatment and that, but I'm well. The little ones are beautiful, very chubby, very big."
This is very sad. Though I thought it wasn’t right for her to try to get pregnant at her age, I wouldn’t have wished ill for her.
I think she had a fatal case of stupid, before the cancer took over...
I believe that everyone has the right to decide if and when they choose to bear children. I hope this woman will fight and win her battle with cancer and that she and her children will live a long and happy life.
I think this kind of thing is inevitable as people live longer. I also believe we have allowed the monster of reproductive freedom to crawl too far outside of its cave. Anytime a “freedom” or “right” requires artificial propping up I think we should take pause. (We can be assured that someday not to far in the future that two men or two women or anyone for that matter, fertile or not, will be able to have their genetic material mated without the parts to produce viable embryos.)
That said, women stop having the capability to have babies for a reason even though men interestingly enough do not have this limit though male fertility does decrease with age. It is sad that so many women have been sold a bill of goods in that they can “have it all”. It can be said that the most dysfunctional thing an organism can do is refuse to reproduce. It is dysfunctional by definition because it means certain death to all that that organism is.
I know that many times women who refuse to reproduce believe themselves more intelligent for it but that seems to run contrary to the result of their actions. What do they have to show for it at the end of their lives? The poorest grandmother is richer still than the richest of they.
It is interesting to look on to how desperate some women are to resurrect their fertility when they are confronted with the finality of their decisions to let their bloom die. The real travesty is that the modern birth control industry may be directly responsible for the rise of irrational feminism and the misery of millions of women who can not relate to the men most likely to make them happy because of hormonal disruption. So I feel great pity for women who want to have children and can’t.
We live in a society with no faith. Pregnancy is not a disease though it is treated as such. Children are a natural part of the human life cycle. The faithless idea that we should control everything to serve our selfishness is what is producing so much disarray in the natural order of what being a human being means. It is natural for a mature human being to progress to the point where they care for children and put their children’s needs first.
But faithlessness is not new. Abraham and Sarah were faithless. God told them he was going to give them a baby and they did not believe him. Sarah then gave Abraham Hagar to have a baby with and look at what such a small amount of faithlessness has wrought. Sarah then went on to have Isaac at a ripe old age of 90. Today that one act of faithlessness has grown to impact the world.

this woman IMO was too old to start having babies....
the slowing down of men's sex drive and the ability of older women to conceive are both natural outcomes, NEEDED outcomes in fact, and why society tries to circumvent those needed outcomes is beyond me...
