A lot of people celebrates this as a scientific innovation, while in real life it is strongly motivated by monetary interests of the physicians.

Healthy elderly people probably live even longer than that. And no, the age of my biological parents would never bother me. It's just a matter of attitude.
Nothing wrong with being motivated by profits. This is why life in the western world is so lavish compared to a relative short period of human history.
Ubai Bol I think it is ok if they have a deal with someone younger who plays a big part in the child’s life and is seriously willing to look after the child if the parents get sick or die. I think it is something that comes down to the individual- older men have babies naturally often also. It’s not something I support personally but I do not think it should be illegal. Just something the parents think seriously about and don’t just make the decision because they are desperate for a baby.
Typical the Economist's half-truths... They want women to delay. That's part of their ideological agenda. How about the increased chance of defects and rare diseases for the children of old parents? How much energy the elderly still have to bring up children?
If you're fit to become president at 78, I don't see a problem with healthy people in their 60s to fulfill their desire to have children. I'm happy for them.
That woman will be 83 when her daughter goes off to college. When that girl is 13 years old she will have to start learning to change her parents diapers potentially. Will her parents still be getting enough of an income after retirement to raise the daughter and give her some comforts?
In the civilized world government takes care of you, the education is free, if your parents are old they get welfare. Life isnt about comforts you know .
But they are not scared to die too early for their child? OK. I know that science is making breakthroughs on human longevity but that is not happening in these guys lifetimes
Yes. It's irresponsible to wait until your mid thirties. My mother was 37 when she had me, 39 when she had my sister. She died when she was 53 and dad was 55. I spent the next 5 years afraid of my dad dying. This had happened to our cousins.
Any responsible person when evaluating if he should have kids, reaches the conclusion that having kids is irresponsible. Hence, you need to bee irresponsible if you want to have kids.
@@shawnnewell4541 That's tragic 😢💔 .. Hoping you were able to get help with dealing with your loss and grief as well as the PTSD. Thank you for sharing your painful experience with all of us. I'm certain someone who needs to read it will read it and not feel so alone.
IMO, the biggest problem isn't very old parents, it's the billion of dollars expected to go into having a children not actually providing them with anything.
Its actually very difficult and expensive to adopt now. Especially since the western world's birth and pregnancy rates have cratered in the 70's and have gotten lower every decade
This is wonderful. All of us have extraordinarily different circumstances. The way my life is going (the *wrong* / *bad* guys are attracted to me, it's rough getting through college on my own, I was raised inappropriately in some ways that didn't prepare for anything in my own country) ... marriage my not happen for me by age 30, 40 or even 50. It's wonderful to see this b/c I do want to be a wife and mother❤
Don't believe the propaganda.If couples want to ensure that the have kids, make sure they do when the woman is still relatively young. This is fine if it is too late already or one partner is infertile but there is no guarantee that starting a family can be delayed.

Retep Trobec you’re probably a fat person who only eat donuts and don’t exercise, so you’re life expectancy is pretty low. Not everyone is miserable and lazy like you. They clearly can handle this and will be very happy.
Strong and brave Lady!

They all are doing great! And I wish them manymany years, fulfilled with Love! ✌💗🙏🌟✨💐
I'm sorry this is disgraceful. It is totally unfair to the child to be born to parents that are both well into there 60s! 50 would be very questionable. It's just so unfair to the child, they are put at such a disadvantage
@@Cortesevasive go ask a medical doctor are they able to take care of a new born baby. They are not able physically or mentally capable. It's got nothing to do with me. This is purely an objective fact
@@Smellindamix If they would be physically or mentally incapable the government would take their care. +They could be possibly adopted by other relatives or worst case scenario they would go to foster home.

At old age they want adult son and doughter to handle them. Not want to handle a child. Because at that stage even they want support from ther children.
This should be applied only for families who can't have children normally. People who decide to have a little better career instead of having normal children just sickens me.
Or you just don’t have kids.... ? Our planet can’t handle so many people. I hate that it’s still expected of women to absolutely want to become mothers. It’s not for everyone.
Not having kids is probably the most unnatural thing ever. Our planet can handle the people, also please consider that the technology advances constantly so our agricultural output potential is limitless. Also please consider that unless you have enough children the future generations will have greater burden of senile population to take care of. Being mother is for everyone thats biology. Though not wanting to sound rude, but I assume that you haven't met a significant other, or had great distrust issues or your family was problematic. Be worried because if you do not repopulate earth it will be done by more inconsiderate people who wont care about our planet as much as you do.

too many unpredictable elements
why don't they adopt kids when they were younger?
sooooo irresponsible
I could not agree more.
its their body and their life, who are we to judge. Who are you to judge what is best for the kid or for the mother ?
But they are not scared to die too early for their child? OK. I know that science is making breakthroughs on human longevity but that is not happening in these guys lifetimes

Yes, this is certainly that type of cake batter.
I want to play mom for 20 years. After that kid you’re on your own.
Kid's gonna nurse his/her parents as if he's a caretaker and will see them both disintegrate at a very young age. That is a mental scar for life.
30-40 years... well enough. Let's get real about life span progression in first world countries.
seasong we don’t even have the flying cars we were promised in 2020 and you talking about immortality
