Car accidents?,, there's no relation between both,,,,, I mean you can see it everywhere,,, everytime,,,,there are lots of accidents,,, sometimes it's not your own fault,,,, I mean,,,, . It's just that you don't go out saying,,, well, today I'm buying cigaretes, some cheese and,, oh, why not an accident?????,,, Having a baby is something you're sure you want to do.....(at least it's better that way), sometimes women at 50 get pregnant artificially,, and they know what's the danger, which not only compromise her life but also her children's life,,, yeah, they're willing to risk it,,, but ,,, would their children think it's ok?????

It depends on how you look at it. Having a baby at 50 means potetial risks but not a 100% risk by default. What ever. I voted yes and I explained why.

Medicine is getting better and better. Most problems with genetics and health can be controlled very good nowadays. So I don't think this is a very strong argument against pregnancy above 50. The social aspects have to be considered by the parents, but I am sure that most people who decide for a child at this age do this.

If we begin to define which woman should have a baby and who not, we will end with less than 5 percent of women being 'allowed' to have one. Sorry, that does not appeal to me.

I think death is the relation... that she might die sooner than her child would want her to (when her child is maybe 20-30 years old - but these days women do live longer although some may not be so lucky). Since you can't guarantee that she will die sooner than other mothers, there's really nothing to do... Same as, if the mother is young - it doesn't mean she will live long, either. My friend lost her mother when she was 12 years old, and her mother was young. Meanwhile my other friend (aged 17) has a 67 year old father who is still very healthy.

Also, I think the fact that she is old doesn't mean she can't be a good mom... I've seen plenty of young mothers who should never have given birth.

In my opinion the biggest problem is what can happen to the child itself (like others mentioned in this thread).

Modern medicine is fairly succesful at predicting pre-natal birth defects as the fetus develops from early stages, so the pregnancy can be aborted in those first few weeks if problems are detected.

Religion is an insult to human dignity. With or without it you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

no, come on guys, it's obvious that not!! this is just not possible that that kid would be healthy. and how her body would stand a childbirth? and finally, she would be his/her mom and would look like grandmom..
anyway, that's her choice, but I'm surprised that the doctors agreed for this

p.s. ekhm, what will be the kind of impregnation? her husband will do it himself?

I highly doubt they can disagree to help on the baby's birth. It's their job. It's a right that the woman has. Despite the doctors' opinion, they have to help the mother. That's the hipocratic oath. Well, part of it.

Anyway, I still voted no. I agree with Rachel, and the ones who agreed with her (=P). I mean, if the woman wants to take the risk and have a baby, so be it. However, I think she shouldn't. For all the reasons already explained.

As there is a restriction for when you're allowed to have a baby (in norway: 16 years old) I honestly believe there should be an upper limit as well (I have no idea what it would be tho). After the woman's age of 25-30, the risks of any damages to the little one increases dramatically. After what I know (I'm not scientist or know-it-all on the field, however my old science teacher told me that the best age for having children was when the woman is between 16-20 years old. I'm thinking someone who's over 50 will put a lot of unecessary risks on the baby, as there will be big chances of disnormalities when it's born.

The fact that the kid will lose his/her parents while he's/she's still young isn't really a problem. Of course it's very sorry for him/her, but it's something one can get over after a litte while. It's not a permanent problem... If it becomes a problem he/she can get help to put it behind him/her.

I dunno really. It's not the issue I've digged myself the most into. I'm saying no, because of the risks, however, I think she's entitled every right to have a baby. Adoption is a superb alternative!

well they can disagree and in that case they should do this. they have to save lives no metter what, and I can imagine how this case will end. they will make a prenatal examination when it would be possible and they will detect some genetical disease in this child. than they will assert that this kid won't live more than few years, or they will assert that the body of mother is to weak to stand the delivery. and it will end on abortion anyway.

I think that this woman is selfish, too selfish,she thinks only about herself, she wants to have baby and she have to get it no matter what. she don't thing of the needs of this poor kid or of his future. that's why she shouldn't get it.

but, that's my opinion, of course you can disagree

I don't disagree with you, just with the doctors disagreeing thing. (If you know what I mean xP)
They have to do anything that is in their hand to bring the baby safe. And to keep the mother alive. No matter what the chances of them both dying are.
That's what I think, at least o.o

of course they should, since all kind of younger woman can why not older too.

but world would be a much better place, if everyone had to satisfy some criteria before having kids , but that will never happen..

Of course it's not ok for women over 50 to have children.
I'm totally against this. 1st: it's really risky. 2nd: having children needs so much responsibilities.how are they gonna raise the child at that old age? There will be a huge generation gap between them so how they're gonna understand each other? and how many years they have to live. I think someone who does this kind of childish or even selfish things is not mature enough, no matter how old they are.

That's no problem. There are infinite number of cases where grandparents (or simply grandparents-aged foster parents) have brought up lonely kids, and with superb results! 50 isn't OLD... you're perfectly capable of bringing up a kid at that age. Even the problem for the kid with the parents dying "early" is no problem at all. The kid will get over that. Everyone have lost someone dear to them without the whole world collapsing before their eyes. Age doesn't really matter when the kid is already born and in super shape.

The problem is the risks before and while giving birth to the little one: The old lady will give the baby high risks of permanent disnormalities and problems that it will struggle with for the rest of his/her life. This can be pretty serious, and not something the mother should risk putting on her child. That's the only problem in my opinion, but it's a huge one.
