She's a selfish woman!

Whose going to look after this child in another 10 years or is she immortal!

Chances are even with egg & sperm donation she wouldnt be able to sustain a pregnancy anyway.

Where do they find these people.

I had a surprise baby at 44 and was worried I would be the oldest Mum on the ward..........................2 were older than I was and had planned theirs.

I found it much more tiring than when I had our others in my twenties, but wouldn't change her for the world..................she is the best mistake we ever made:))

Think their minds must have exploded to contemplate having a child in their 60'/70's.80's.

Absolutely Lo-co.

Gordon Bennett! She should have thought about having children earlier - say before she was 45!
If she put her career and money first - so be it - it was her choice.
She's old enough to realise we don't all get everything we want in this life - and there are some things money shouldn't be allowed to buy!

Thanks Sue, I should have said the EU should do something:)

I have wondered if I'd feel differently if the woman had a 35 year old partner but probably not, cos I've always thought men who father children in old age are selfish...

do you think it could be the first signs of alzheimer's
searching for her youth through a CHILD

no doubt some unscrupulous clinic abroad
is clamming for her money

Uggers,

She has and is going abroad for ivf treatment.
She did mention this morning that she has been to the Ukraine fertility clinic and it wouldn't surprise me if she goes back there.

Merlin Report 23 Jul 2009 15:21

They should refuse IVF treatment and tell her that if she still wants a child they will attempt to find a 72yr old man to be the Father for her. **M**.

So wrong it's untrue. Completely typical of the I want mentality that's so prominent in society. There is *no* right to have a child, not everyone can have them and that's just something that a childless person needs to come to terms with. For those who can't have them and have overwhelming parental urges, there are thousands of children who need fostering or adopting - about time the government shut down some of these unethical fertility clinics and started doing something about the children already in the world with no-one to care properly for them

what would happen if she died during childbirth she cant be right in the head and any doctors who help her they need thier head testing none of them thinking of the childs needs

I saw her this morning,and I have to say I think anyone willing to help this lady needs their head looking at .
I believe she already spent 10's of thousands of pounds.Seems more like an obsession to me.
I am sorry she didn't have children when she was younger she probably would have been a good mum.But for heavens sake,she is not thinking of the child now,just herself.

I agree that this woman is too old to have a baby,but to quote her own words on GMTV this morning.

""She would get all her friends to rally round her if she did have a baby and also get a NANNY for the child""".

Now if that ain't ridiculous,and this woman says she so wants a baby,
She put her career 1st and then the time wasn't right for her to have a baby.
But I can assure this woman that at 72 yrs old still isn't the right time.

Why doesn't she donate the money she would use for ivf treatment to an orphanage either in a third world country or Thailand or Romania where they are crying out for help with the children.

Just my opinion.

72 is far to old perhaps she should advertise to be someones nanna instead
