Age Limits for Child Production?

Should there be a age requirements for having children? Now in the U.S., there are are plenty of laws restricting the actions of boys and girls; or what men do with girls, and visa versa. What about the other side of the timeline? When do people get too old to have kids? Elizabeth Adeny a 66 year old, is about to become the oldest lady in British history to give birth; provided she isn't history before the birthday. I don't find this to be right; the kid will be under too much pressure to produce grandchildren. As well, this kid will probably insist on the bottle and not the tap:

Why is this even a debate? I have no right to say what she does with her life and hope she feels the same about mine.

Yea, that's like saying we have no right to determine if people can kill themselves or other. In this case, we are talking about someone with high odds of death at any point. What do you have then? Think a minute? A kid with no parents.

So be it. It's not like it's an epidemic or anything. Either way, it's reactionary as she could live to 90 as well.

Myself and certainly anybody else has no business period on what someone else does, especially in regards to them and their family.

As to the suicide bit, same thing none of mine or anybody else's business period.

Re: Age Limits for Child Production?

Some issues I can apply that belief to. If someone wants to kill his or herself, so be it. Still there are laws in the U.S. that make such actions illegal. Suicide is a personal thing, but there are still laws pertaining to it. Doing heroin is a personal decision, yet there are laws saying you can't do it. There is nothing too personal for the law. I am very critical about this because, forgive me, I am one of those people who sees the world as over populated and doesn't approve of having children in all instances. I don't like kids having kids accidentally, or hearing about one couple who shell out ten kids (and then collects wellfare), or about one guy who has fifteen kids with three different mothers, et cetera.
Getting back to the original issue, someone who could die at any moment shouldn't be having children.

Yeah, how many old guys have died in the sack?  Many of us hope that we go that way.

I know that's not what you meant...

She would need sperm from somewhere, shouldn't she? Here is her "reasoning"

 

Now eight moths pregnant, Ms Adeney reportedly told friends she wanted a child so she has someone to “leave my money to”.

There is no age limit for child production. It's their(men and women)well and wish. If wants to fix age limit Who can fix the limit? Who accept it? If so everybody's individual freedom regarding personal life is affected. I think it is waste of time in discussing this topic. Because definetly we won't have solution.

I agree. The "politically correct" folks seem to want to dictate everything. Like Michael Jackson sharing his bed with children, like many parents do. I'm soo-oo-ooo sick and tired of the oversensantionalizing and over-dramaticizing of the news, which is whatever they want it to be in their "opinion".

No age limit. Even government imposed that 2 children per family, most of them not considering. This issue definetly no effect and do nothing.

Old enough to bleed is old enough to breed!
Given the UK health care system she may be denied access to a birthing facility because of her age! Got to love socialized medicine!
Hey if she wanted somebody to leave her money to she could have given it to me! Selfish bitch not wanting to participate in the redistribution of her wealth.
Wait until the child sues for having to drink milk from a bottle and not those dried up mammary glands dragging on the floor!
This issue is really none of our business!

We do have something to prevent old ladies from giving birth, it's called... wait for it... menopause. From Men, meaing month, and pause, meaning stop.

I don't think we should tell a woman over a certain age she can't have a kid. What are you gonna do? Tell her to get an abortion? Yeah, let's see someone say that without starting a riot in the streets.

This issue should be laughable, unfortunately there are those who are compelled to pass judgment based on their personal orientations and without any connection to logic or common sense.

It's just like cutting your dick off when you are given age limits for child production. But on the positive side its a good way to reduce over population especially now that we are experiencing global financial crisis affecting everything specially our lifestyle well its a good way. Life's too hard this days especially when you have kids going to school gives you a lot of headache.

Too bad men can't take the same advice and quit with the viagra after a certain age too.

ain't medical discoveries "wonderful"?  Men can take viagra until they are 110, woman can rent out their uterus, we can abort, we can have "death with dignity", we can have IVF at any age.  Playing God has it's own rewards, doesn't it?  Oh, I forgot about cloning and the new discovery in which a man's sperm isn't even needed to conceive anymore (has to do with stem cells).  AWESOME.

Well there is also the test tube approach so we can eliminate the Uterus argument right off the bat! TOTALLY AWESOME!
Sort of diminishes the power of the vagina doesn't it!

What a nice discussion on here Laughing out loud

But seriously, although I do not agree with a woman that age getting a newborn, it is her right and I don't think that anyone has the right to tell her otherwise.

I feel that it is up to the morals of the parents to figure it out. If an age limit was imposed, what would be the options for enforcing it? Hysteroctomies after age 50? Abortion of the unborn child or adoption for the born child? I just don't understand it.

I have two cents, too. She can do what she wants with her body. She shouldn't have lied to the doc about her age, though. If she wanted to leave her money to someone, I would've been willing to help her out.

Re: Age Limits for Child Production?

from my point of view there shall not be any limit in the upper age of a person to have children

Yeah in fact its necessary that there is a lower limit

As long as the parents can take care of there children well  there is no need for a upper liit
