Death of Parenting....continues
May 22, 2007
A 60-year-old women has twin boys. She wants her 6 year old son (also conceived using IVF) to have a siblings. What about parents?
Birnbaum said she underwent in-vitro fertilization (IVF) last year in Cape Town, South Africa, so her youngest son, Ari, would have siblings closer to his age and because she wanted older women to be able to deliver children “without a stigma attached.”
Do the math, when her twins are 12 - she is 72, Ari will be 18. Most likely will have to be their surrogate parent. The death of parenting continues in so many ways.
