That may look like the sort of title you'd hear on some sci-fi tabloid but no. This is the story that caught my eye as i quickly flipped through today's newspaper and it's true! A 70 year old grandmother from India has just giving birth (by Cesarean thank God) to a boy and a girl weighing just 2 pounds each but doctors claim they are both healthy. Omkari Panwar and her 77 year old husband Charan already have 2 adult daughters and 5 grandchildren but really wanted a son so that they could have an 'heir'.
Omkari said 'If i am the world's oldest mother it means nothing to me' insisting that all she wants is to care for her two new babies in the time she has which i don't believe will be very long. If you think about it the children will be only 10 when their mother is 80 and that's if she lives that long. Even if they do have an heir who will take care of all they have when the parents snuff it and they're still learning how to tie their shoe laces. Come on people this isn't fair and if they did want a son this bad why didn't they start earlier? Why wait until your half dead? You have two children already, be grateful!!!
Lets not forget back in 2005 when Romanian woman, Adriana Iliescu, gave birth at the ripe old age of 66 but Adriana could still be considered the world's oldest mother as there are no documents to prove Omkari is the age she says she is. Who cares really? It's not right. The father has said that he gave up everything to pay for IVF so what have they got to live on now? I'd like to know the doctors who allow people who are clearly way too old to do this because it sickens me. Those children aren't going to grow up their parents because their will not live much longer and even if they do they can't take the kids for long walks, play sports with them or mess around. Can we stop doing this please!!!
