[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Having recently turned 50 and dealing with my body breaking down, I say no. I've been 100% healthy up to now, never overweight, never smoked, alcohol-free, always exercised, relatives all lived to 80s and 90s, etc. It's just a crapshoot and not one I'd be willing to take with my kid to have to deal with me being sick as they grow up. My kids are in college and very close to independence. The idea of another 20 years of child rearing is risky. By the way, I felt amazing at 43!! Not so much 7 years later.[/quote] A body breaking down at 50 is unusual and not the norm. People can have health issues at any age. I am overweight, haven't always exercised, drink, and I am healthy at 50. I wouldn't have a baby now because I don't want one and don't want the next 20 years of my life to be child rearing but if that is what someone wants for themselves, then hey. Many people are now healthy into their 70s. [/quote]
