Technically, they are not her children. They are someone else’s children that she has had implanted into her uterus.
Pregnancy for an older woman is quite risky. Not to mention the fact that life expectancy is around 77 years or so, meaning that it is highly unlikely that she will see those children reach adulthood. Is there some arrangement for the children’s biological mother to step in and assume their care at that point?
She is egotistical. She could not have conceived them on her own. And she could have ‘family’ in many other ways.
Wow! & here I am in early 40’s thinking it’s too late for us..
Trying for our 1st.
But 65??? I can’t even imagine..
The article doesn't have all the relevant information, but it looks like --- because they weren't mentioned --- the babies' father(s) and genetic mother(s) are also out of the picture.
God bless the children --- they themselves are as precious as any children conceived anyway anyhow --- but this deliberately freakish reproductive stunt was a morally objectionable thing to do. Every child a natural right to be begotten, borne and raised by his or her natural, married mother and father.
A right? Yes, because they have the need; and we are responsible for this when we bring them into existence.
Don’t know why lefties are complaining. There’s gotta be a new generation of young people to pay for the welfare state.
My great grandmother had her last at 49. My grandmother had my dad at 50. Here is the difference: both ladies conceived naturally and were not post menopausal. IMHO.. denying natural biology (defined as the bodies ability to conceive i.e. pre-menopausal) is healthier for both Mother and child. I couldn’t find in the article if this woman had other children. If not.. why in the world did she wait so long? It sort of reminds me of something I learned long ago in a philosophy class: the phone rings. You have two choices: answer it or don’t. However, if you spend a LONG time thinking about which one.. the phone will stop ringing; thus, you made a choice wether you realized it or not.
Long before it is “egotistical”, it is an unnatural, disordered procedure; contrary to nature and intrinsically evil. End of discussion.
When it comes to later-in-life pregnancies, I admit I’m biased.
My parents were in their forties when I was born. I was 34 when I lost my father, and 39 when I lost my mother. All I can say is that I wish I’d had more time with them.
Natural conception would be beautiful (and truly a gift from God).
Medical conception is pure ego because of the woman’s age.
It is incredibly selfish to commit to living a child-free lifestyle to maximize fun and freedom, then approaching the age of death suddenly decide to have children. 1 or 4 makes no difference. This woman is sinfully selfish to now want to bring children into the world when she knows it is very unlikely she will live to see them graduate high school, and if they do she will probably be in a home they can’t pay for or give her genuine care.
What a selfish brat.
Also, I understand autism rates are closely tied to elderly pregnancies. So she liable to have a couple of them be autistic as well. Should be fun raising 4 children all at once with one or 2 autistic, when you are 75 years old.
Good luck with that you selfish brat.
Horrible.

I’m glad that both my parents were in their twenties when they had me and are still alive.
Selfish woman.
I wouldn’t be surprised if fertility treatment causes long term damage.

What about the father? Does this scenario include him, at all?
Where does the financial support for this family come from?
At my age NOT 65——yet, no thanks. Grandchildren & great nieces & nephews will do just fine.
