A 66-year-old woman from Suffolk, England, is eight-months pregnant. Her name is Elizabeth Adeney. You may raise your eyebrow because getting pregnant at her age is somewhat questionable but Elizabeth really wanted to have a baby. She is a very rich divorcee who has been wanting to have a child for years. She travelled all the way to the Ukraine just to visit the controversial IVF clinic there which has helped a number of women get pregnant using donor eggs and sperm.
Well, if she wants it and her body can spport it despite her age, then why do we raise our eyebrows? Here's a statement from a spokesman for the Church of England:
"A child is a gift not a right. For those who have never received that gift we can well understand their desire to have children but it is always important to think in those circumstances about what is really in the child's best interests."
