That is good, But I’m all for it, but at the age of 60 I say no way, I have grandchildren, when I get tired of them I send them home. But if I, would have a baby now who will I have to send (him or her) baby too?

I think if they want it then sure…but how many woman of that age are really looking to have a baby?

Oh, crap, Jane, must you insist on being reasonable, intelligent, and fair-minded, fer chrissakes????

This is an interesting topic - I’m only 31 (never been pregnate. Thank goshd!) and I could never have a kid. First of all, I have a low pain tolerance. And I hate hospitals and needles. Oh gosh, terrified of them! So, you don’t have to worry about me 30 years from now - Carrie(my wife) had Daniel 12 years ago (from a previous marriage.) Most (if not all) of our friends are 55+. Carrie and I love the company, the wisdom and the friendship is real, not, you know…fake and stupid! Okay, back to the topic here. My manager/agent Elena is 59 and has never been married or had kids, so what does she do? She has pretty much adopted Carrie and I as her kids and Dan as her grandson! It’s wonderful! So, you know what ever works for people, that’s what I think. However, in my mind - I can’t even imagine someone like my mom at 71 wanting to have another kid, even if she still looks 55. Yikes! Oh well, If those who want to have kids - even late in the game - go for it! Heck, if we start to run out of room on earth, send them out here to the Californian desert. We have lots of room! Tootles! - Shey

I am pretty much in agreement here - I don’t see why not. I know several post-menopausal women who would make AMAZING mothers that the world, quite frankly, lacks and NEEDS. These are women who would not only make great mothers, but in a sense already are great mothers, and who regret never having children. In fact, if more people were raised by 60, 65, 70-year-olds, with the wisdom that inevitably comes with such age, I guarantee there wouldn’t be so much ugliness in the world. Then again, there’s the issue of many of these children eventually not knowing their mothers for as long as they probably should. (Wow, was I a Libra in a past life?!)
