Oldest Mother Dies

69 Year Old mother of 2 1/2 year old twins dies. Guinness World Record names, Maria del Carmen Bousada, as the oldest woman to give birth at 66 years of age. She lied to the fertility clinic by telling them she was only 55.

What do you think of the situation, leaving 2 year old twin girls without a mother or father? Oh yes, did I not mention, she was a single mother that received in-vitro fertilization at 66? Now, in her defence she said that her mother died at 101 years of age, so she didn't see that giving birth at 66 was that big of deal because she would be around to see her children grow up just like her mother. Someone must not have given her the memo, "We're Not Guaranteed Our Time Here On This Earth!". I think it's quite selfish what she did. I understand the desire to have a child, I really do but couldn't you have started the process in your 30's, heck even in your 40's. 66 in my opinion is too late to start your child rearing years. I feel so bad for the girls who are left and will never remember their mother other than what they see in pictures. It's a heartbreaking situation.
