She and her 80 yr. old husband married in 1960 something.  Had IVF and C-section.  It was twin girls.

I understand really wanting kids and not being able to have them.  They had decades to try IVF why wait to do it at this age, but her body, she can do what she wants.

I don't know if they are wealthy and can afford help or not.  Personally,  I cannot imagine taking care of a baby to say nothing of the terrible two's and chasing a toddler in my 70's.

There is a high probability that they won't  live to see those kids grow to 18. 

Yes, there are grandparents raising their grandkids for one reason or another, but that's different than chosing to get pregnant at 73.

It just amazes me.

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.....just sayin'

The children will be the ones to suffer the loss of their parents at an early age. Hope they have a back-up plan for when they are gone.

Just because you can does not mean you should.  How healthy does your body need to be to insure a healthy baby?

I see them as totally selfish people.  Those kids deserve to have parents who will be around to see them grow up and have their own children.  Those grandkids won't have the privilege of having loving grandparents either.

She needed a SHRINK, not an OB/GYN

While I wish them the best, don't feel it was wise.   How long can they expect to remain vigorous for the children?

[chiclets]

I can not comprehend why they made the choice to do so.

Most probably their grandchildren will have to take care of their kids.
