[quote=Anonymous]I'd be less concerned about what society thought of me and more concerned about what it would mean for that child to have such an old parent. Even if you manage to get through the baby and toddler years, your child would be 15 years old with a 66 year old mother, or 20 years old with a 71 year old mother. That child is either going to go through most of their life without a parent because you'll be dead or they'll have to worry about caring for an elderly parent when they are still in college or a young adult. Why would you potentially saddle your child with that? Not to mention that unless you're independently wealthy or plan on working until you die, how do you plan on paying for a child, including college, when you'll be on a fixed income? So yes, it's incredibly selfish. [/quote]
