I’m conflicted. Theres a great heartache attached to being barren when you’ve always wanted children. I’m pretty sure its an indescribable feeling. So if someone can give a woman the chance to have a child then shouldn’t she be able to? I think the reason we’re seeing these older women having children is because the technology is new and ivf wasn’t possible when these women were 40. As it become more common place women will get these procedures earlier and I don’t think elderly women having babies will be an issue.
