#1 sorry if i offend anyone , but this seems as a drastically risky thing . She'll also be senile and incontinent b4 her twins reach 20 , leaving them to spend the important years of their life caring for this very selfish woman

#2 You nailed it, MacN. And if she has any fewer than four nannies(one for each child day shift/night shift), that mental energy will be unbalanced within the month. I saw myself being vital until my 120th birthday (I've got genentics on my side), but Chronic Fatigue Syndrome stepped in -- life is full of these little surprises, and generally when they are least welcome. I hope she has three trusts set up and fully funded: university education for each of the kids, and 20 years worth of old age care for herself. Selfish, fer sher! But "woman" may be too polite a term.

#3 What is really disgusting is that doctors spent three years to make her pregnant. Don't they have anything better to do with their training? They are the real whores here.

#5 Look on the bright side: at least there are still people in this country willing to bear and raise children, despite the hardship, risk and inconvenience. Could be worse-- look at EUrabia's slow suicide.

#6 Regardless of my thoughts on whether this was wise or not, I wish her and especially her children all the best luck.

#7 Speaking of media hogs, I believe she's Curtis Sliwa's sister...

#8 I was 54 when my youngest child was born. He is now a mischievous toddler at 18 months and an absolute joy to have around (he is right here right now, no doubt trying to figure out some way to sabotage what dad is doing).
There are more than a few differences between our case and this woman's though:
1. Genetics are strongly on my side. There is no history of dementia or Alzheimer's in my family. My grandmother is 102, fully mobile, and as sharp mentally as she ever was.
2. Er, to put it as delicately as possible, we did not require medical intervention to conceive the baby (though we did consult a doctor about genetic and aging issues).
3. My wife is 21 years younger than I am and will be able to finish raising our son if I do happen to check out early.
4. I have already raised two children, now 30 and 22 respectively. Believe me, it gets easier with experience.
5. We only have one little guy, not two.
