OK, I know I shouldn't say it but I will. She looks so much older than her years. If someone had said she was 80, I would not have argued with that.

Apart from the sheer selfishness of this plan, did they not think about what it is going to be like for the child, everywhere people staring at it and making comments about it having a mother that looks like the great grandmother and the bullying and teasing it will get.

I dont think children should be bought so it's a fairly easy moral dilemma for me.

Just because we can, doesn't mean we should.

'deserve' children?

Strange choice of word.

Why not adopt?

Hmmm, i have read so so many stories that run parallel with this particular one, i know you cant help who you fall in love with..... but!

Its reported they are wanting their own child ! At 61 ??????? THAT is where my negative comments come into force. I know the press feed us these stories knowing the majority of us will think its bonkers but personally i think its sad, yes bonkers too, but mostly sad ( for her )

Of course the heart skips more than the 1 beat when we know someone ( other than our hubby ) finds us appealing and for some it can have a serious effect, but then you read stories such as this 1 and i just feel sad for her and as for bringing a child into this, no just NO.
