How old is too old to have a baby? This woman is 66 and has had a baby using IVF. Isn't this too old to be changing nappies? Is she being selfish or thinking of the child? What age should we stop having...

la_chique Its terribly selfish! I think that people should stop having kids past 40. Doctors say that 35 is the age at which women's bodies start to become less suitable for childbearing.

SandrainSpain A woman of 66 is old enough to be a grandmother and certainly should not be contemplating motherhood. Just because it can be done doesn't mean it should be done. While I'm all for using science to help women of normal childbearing age to become mothers if...

rmuxagirl I just wanted to say I loved reading your story. It's a great to have a story like this to show that those with dyslexia are not stupid, but just need a little more time. I have a mild form of it...I confuse numbers and get them mixed up but otherwise good....

di1159 Wow, toughie! There are so many problems that need to be dealt with, I'm sure human rights will be on that list, but it should be on every country's list. I believe the old adage that we must first get our own house in order before we can help anyone else do...

smooch091784 Definitely! But I don't think that will happen anytime soon. It'll be yrs, yrs from now. Reminds me of The Robinsons movie, and that Will Smith movie, was that I-Robot. Flying cars would definitely a great alternative vehicles to stay away with the traffic. I...

liisafiat I doubt. Although they should do what is the best for their citizens, they rarely are brave enough to make decisions like this. And to make a change. Or at least: to give it a try. Besides, it would make HOT debates ALL around the world! Many will call it...

liisafiat Yes. People can not change. And if one child suffered, then they will get the next one and the next children will suffer as much (if not even more) then the previous one. And actually the trouble doubles and triples, as the amount of children in that type of...

CraftyCorner I don't believe you should trust so called 'healthy' advertising on children's pre-processed foods. There is a lot of fat, salt, and sugar in them. What you can do is prep nutritious food for the whole family and simply serve that to your kids. Home cooked...
