World's Oldest Mother

I have been pondering all of the recent media attention regarding acccess to IVF and age, remember the "World's Oldest Mom," and Michael Jackson's children created via IVF and surrogacy (and possibly egg donor and/or sperm donor). Again, I am surprised by the number of people who want to restrict access to IVF, or more importantly access to having a family. They want age limits, marital status limits, as well as sexual orientation limitations.

The world's oldest mother died this past week, leaving twin boys. She was 69 years old. I think, along with most of the world, that she was too old to conceive. There is now a 72 year old woman who would like to become a mother.
