Do you ponder nearby should be age margins on who can become a parent?

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/jul…
The link above refers to a woman, who at the age of 66 became a mother. While people can influence this is wrong, there are men who father kids when they are that age. Wrong or right?
No.

I could drop dead tomorrow, and my Children wouldn't have a mother. My Father did, and we lost him when my youngest brother was just 6-7yo. It happens.
My Mother was pregnant to my father in her 50s, with ease. Unfortunately the child didn't make it, but she's still around and can still parent better than a lot of people.

She didn't ask to have a tumour, so why should culture be criticising her decisions. Who would have known she'd develop a tumour. She may own lived to 100 who would have known.

The IVF company who impregnated her should enjoy done more background checks, but like most things in duration, no one or nothing is perfect.
It's not practical for 14/15 year olds to have children either, but the difference is teenagers eventually grow up and become more grown, and some teenage mothers are very good mothers. A 66 year aged may be emotionally mature, and make a fantastic mother, but when they're going to be 71 when that child turns 5, and 76 when the child is 10, chances are that child will become a carer for their own mother - If not an stray - Whilst they're still young. Pregnancy and childbirth can be hard on a body that age, so whilst i hate to voice it's fair to deprive anyone of the joy being a parent, when you're 66 have a child is selfish, and not thinking of that child long term at all. Men can become a father up til the light of day they die. Sperm doesn't age. Men don't get the menopause. Women do. Unfair, but mother nature invented the menopause for a reason. And beside exception to those women who suffer it prematurely, it should be taken as a cue to stop..
I believe that the age limits on who can become a parent should be left up to the individuals and mostly God.
Its not really equal for any1else to judge wether or not others are entitled to have a child at whatever age.
But within should be some common sence from the mother-to-be.
There are cases where 13/14/15 year olds have kids, its egocentric under some curcumstances as they cant look after the baby and it becomes a burnen on their ethnic group, but on the other had u do get very ripened and capable 15/16 year old mums who can look after their own children. Its all curcumstancial.

Personaly i consider the woman in the link u posted is quite self-seeking as by the time her child is 16 shel b 82. That means either the 16year old will enjoy to look after their own mother instead of the other wat around, or worst case senario, the mother might not even be alive!
I think there should be one. But it's exasperating that here are 66 year olds out there who don't consider the implications of stuff like that and should want an 'age restriction' to prevent it? It's actually sick. She'll be dead before her daughters hit her twenties.
I suppose Mother Nature gave us an age limit with the menopause but science have overwritten that. I answered a similar Q yesterday about this lady and felt solely sadness that she had only 3 years near her children, however having given it more thought I think yes there should be, yes some mothers die young-looking and that is unfortunate but if you have your children lower than 40 the odds are in your favour that will see them grow up and be in that for them when they need you. If nature intended mothers to have children upto any age, it would come to pass naturally without the need for sustain. The risks to older mothers babies increase with every year over 35 whereas mens sperm doesn't deteriorate, that's just the track it is.
fathering a child at the age of 60 something is not as hard as mothering a child at that age a mother has a lot harder assignment to do than the average male and it is very taxing on the body in the majority of cases children are a mothers responsibility for the first years of the child's energy im not saying fathers don't take an helpful roll but breast feeding etc is the mothers job mothers who have children contained by there 60 s need to understand that these children are not going to be capable of have a childhood like other children from a younger set of parents it also leads to the certainty what is going to happen to the children when the parent does pass over they are not of a legal age to look after themselves
I regard as older women who have kids are just unkind. Think about it. 66 years old. when that kid is 13 the mother will be 79 years old pushing 80! Now what species of 80 year old is fit enough to deal next to a newly turning teenager. Even the youngest of parents find their teenagers tough never mind a frail old woman have to deal with them. There are People in the world approaching my sis who can have kids so i think if old grannys want to jump ahead a shoot out more puppies they should at least have the courteousness to give them to someone who if gonna know how to look after them.
Biological ability has been the classic age contain in reproduction. However, this woman lied about her age to get artificially inseminated, and presently the children (twins if I remember) will be left without a parent because she decided to toy beside biology and forget that there's a practical reason, not to have done it. She and the clinic were competent to manipulate, but not cheat, biology enough to live forever and care for children,from beyond the grave. Now the children are worse stale than before her bad decision.
i ruminate that woman is out of her mind its not necessarily wrong to do at a certain age but think about the children here where on earth her child is ten she will be 76 when her child is 15 she will be 81 .. so on she will be dead before the child even moves out unless she lives a very long time i come up with the children deserve to have at least part of an full-grown life with there parents. i meditate it was a poor decision on the mothers part and extremely emergent ... :)
Answers:    There IS an age limit. It's called the menopause.

If you've hit the menopause that's your bodies opening of telling you you physically can't handle bearing children any more.

Men don't own anything like the menopause because historically they were just sperm donors and the females did adjectives the hard graft.

It's wrong to have children if you know you can't physically handle them.

It have nothing to do with being financially stable, if your body is unfolding you it can't handle pregnancy, child birth and being a parent LISTEN TO IT. It knows itself better than you do.

Edit: I should enjoy added, without the exception of women who hit the menopause prematurely who would normally be able to take children to term and look after them without the child turning into a carer when they became a minor.
No- because age is relative when you consider the children's needs. They need a parent who is ready for the responsibility and matured enough to sacrifice their needs to the best interests of the children. The ability to do to be exact age relative because it is selfless required.
My husband is 51, we have three children and plan to have some more.

I conjecture as long as you are in the right place mentally, physically and financially when the child is conceived, then it's fine.

Anyone could get cancer and die no business how old they are.
Yeah - especially a starting age!! nearby are so many stupid kids walking around with babies who are being half- care for because their stupid mothers and fathers were too selfish to use contraception (or too drunk!)The problem beside elderly parents is that they'll die whilst the kids are still young - so there's a selfish element within as well - they don't think oftthe kids, just in the region of their own desires...it's all wrong!
How would you ever enforce such a thing? Make the woman have an abortion? Forcibly remove the baby once it is born? Nature pretty much ensure that mothers are mostly under a certain age, and good luck toany woman lucky adequate to beat nature.
Yes, IVF should be banned.
We are not God.
Men can be fathers as it is a intuitive process and has been given the seal of approval by quality.
We tamper with nature at our peril.
I do not know about the birds but the bees know that near is something wrong.
I agree to an extent, but then we would have to look at also people have kids that have medical conditions as well, some conditions cut your life expectancy pretty far, or even if your morbidly obese, in attendance is too many things that would be up for discussion, I was young and forceful when I had my 2 kids, but I feel awful saying others who are not exactly me shouldn't enjoy kids
Parental Responsibility lasts for 20 years. Was she or her husband still working ?
Isn't here another one trying for the Guinness Book of Records.

Men note well. (condoms??)
Do some children have a 'Granny' - not a mum - and don't know what happen to her !
It's not for anyone to say. That lady thought she'd live to 101 approaching her mother and wasn't to know what was around the corner. Who's to say that her time with her child wasn't more amazing than a mother who doesn't fastidiousness for her children until she reaches old age but they spent their child hood in fastidiousness.

Just like Jade Goody didn't realise that at 26 she'd be leaving two small boys behind.

If everyone be to live like they only had days moved out the world wouldn't function anymore!

And, how does this compare to countries where dying in childbirth is common. Should they not hold children or feel guilty about having them?

It's a short time ago impossible to answer, because everyone is different and everyone has different views and feelings and situations.

I newly can't answer, sorry!
I think if your biologicaly too mature to have kids then you shouldn't, I don't think its disinterested on the kids to have a parent who is too old to play with them or who is more likly to die when they are youthful.
Well there is an age limit on when you can have sex. But citizens don't stick by that rule. there are 13/14/15 year olds having babies all over the place!!
People would never stick to rules more or less when or when not to have a baby
Should have to enjoy a license to have kids.
