How old is too old to give birth? (Touched by the Stork

How old is too old to give birth?

Should Age Matter when it comes to seeking Infertility? If you want to have a baby and can't have it the natural way, should you be penalized for that? This is in reference to the recent "news" story about the woman from Spain who lied about her age to her Infertility Specialist to get treatment. She eventually had twins. I am not sure what the fertility laws are but isn't this about a woman's right to choose? Ok, I get it she is old. But I thought fifties was the new forty and wouldn't that make sixties the new fifties. Let me know what you think? When do we stop pidgeonholing ourselves. We can be anything that we want to be shouldn't that extend to - having anything all our hearts desires too?
