The hateful troll on this board is really funny. As if they're telling us anything we don't know about biology. I'm a research scientist in genetics. I still tried getting pregnant in my 40s, even though I know the medical risks to mother and child better than most. For my family it's worth it to try.

There is nothing selfish about getting pregnant if you want a child and know there's a very high chance the child will be well cared for. It doesn't matter at all that a child in their 20s might have at least one parent in their 60s or 70s. From both material and psychological points of view, there's a higher risk for the child if they're born of a young and poor mother at a time when she cannot adequately look after both of them, than there is for a child born to well-off parents who will take the time and effort to raise their child thoughtfully - not because one set of parents loves their kid more, but because money, knowledge and intentional parenting are crucial impact factors in the child's social, emotional and professional outcome.
