saw this last night, it makes me want to throw up though, i dont know why :shrug:

but good on her shame about the loss of one twin...

Re: 66Yr old Romanian Woman Gives Birth
 

What gets me shes not married, and when the kid is 18 she will be 84. Its :sick: Not right at all.

Re: 66Yr old Romanian Woman Gives Birth
 

I hope some charity steps in here, and helps this poor kid, I know shes its mum like, but that child wont have any kind of life.

Re: 66Yr old Romanian Woman Gives Birth
 

Just out of interest..... would you all feel differently if this woman had somehow given birth naturally, or are your opinions coloured by the fact that there was clinical/medical intervention?

How can a country, renowned for it's orphanges and the terrible state of them, spend time and money on fertility treatment of a 60 odd yearold women???????????????????????????
Awful, disgusting, terrible and any other word that matches those. :mad:

Re: 66Yr old Romanian Woman Gives Birth
 

I see your point there marina, funny enough I have thought of that myself, and I think this is boiling down too, it just being a selfish act of the woman, in my views that is, she has not thought about the childs life, and only of her own desire to have a child.

I do think the child is here, and should have a life, sadly its mom wont be able to give it what it needs, and I hope someone will intervene and give this child the life it so desperatly will be wanting soon.

Noway even if it was naturall its still wrong. when the kids 10 she will be a 76 year OLD lady. :(

Wrong wrong wrong :fit:

Re: 66Yr old Romanian Woman Gives Birth
 

Not at all - it seems like this woman has been very selfish by imposing this kind of life on her child. Will she be around to see her daughter's 18th birthday? Her 16th? Or even her tenth? Will she see her grow up?

Re: 66Yr old Romanian Woman Gives Birth
 

I am honestly disturbed by this, and worried for the kid.

Re: 66Yr old Romanian Woman Gives Birth
 

Give her a bell and see if you can farther it. :naughty:

Bet you'd make a great Dad :D

Re: 66Yr old Romanian Woman Gives Birth
 

Why would it still be wrong if it was completely natural :confused:

Ignoring the fact that, as far as I'm concerned, my parents only ever had sex twice (once for older Nug and once for me and twin Nug) and that's it, if it had occurred naturally there surely wouldn't be any outcry.

I have to say that I agree with what people are saying (or infering anyway) about the childs quality of life but, to be fair skunk, I think your attitude there is a bit wide of the mark.

Actually, I went to school with a kid (3 days older than me) whose parent were in their mid-sixties when he was 11 or 12, and there was never any fuss about that. Mind you, he was a loony but I think that was just one of those things.

Re: 66Yr old Romanian Woman Gives Birth
 

i can understand that she wants to have kid, being unable to and having specialist treatment, but i feel the age of this event happening, her age is the most disturbing part, im not saying denying her the right to create a life is right, but it would have been the best option.

unless she has someone to look after the child ?

Re: 66Yr old Romanian Woman Gives Birth
 

Perhaps one of her older kid... ?

I just dont know here, but I do so hope there is a 2nd person to help this child grow up.

Re: 66Yr old Romanian Woman Gives Birth
 

Well, in that case....... if, as i'd suggested, she or any other woman (going through the menopause or post menopausal and over 55 yrs old) had somehow fallen pregnant without trying to (it's happened) ..... would you (pl) expect her to have an abortion?


By the way, i'm not defending this romanian woman's actions..... i'm interested in the debate on a wider scale and other possibles :)
