[quote=Anonymous]Sure, parents can die or be disabled at 62 (though the odds are actually still exceedingly low.) They can also die at 32. Or live to be 100. Everyone knows plenty of 30-somethings who are in awful shape and plenty of 40-somethings who aren't - and I'm not sure how there's some huge difference between having a 62-year-old mom when you graduate high school, vs, say a 57-year-old one. Sure, there's a point where age gets to be a factor, but technically, there are some women out there...granted, not many, but some...who can still ovulate and conceive healthy pregnancies naturally at 45 - which often means giving birth at 46 - so I'm not sure why it's so shocking to give birth at that age via IVF. In this day and age, pre-menopause, I'm not sure age is (or should be) some huge issue beyond the conception challenges and very, very slightly higher potential for a few pregnancy complications that can also hit much younger women too.
