60-year-old mother gives birth to twins
Is it just me? Are we going to applaud this woman's decision to use the lives of two babies as a tool to "let women know they have choices"? Although I would never endorse the choice of a 60-year-old (or someone half her age, by the way) to use this method to "get" a baby, I would certainly understand it better if the motivation was the longing for a child of her own to raise and love. But this psychologist is "on a mission," and it doesn't appear that the mission has much to do with maternal instinct.
If you can take more, the whole story is here.
60-year-old mother gives birth to twins
HACKENSACK, N.J. // The psychologist who gave birth to twin boys at age 60 said today she was on a mission to let women know they have choices.
"It's really basically about women and empowerment," Frieda Birnbaum told NBC's "Today" show.
Birnbaum, who underwent in-vitro fertilization last year at a South African clinic that specializes in older women, gave birth by Caesarean section on Tuesday at Hackensack University Medical Center.
