[extropy-chat] Twins born from 12-year-old embryos

[Spike]

"An Israeli woman has given birth to healthy twins from 12-year-old
frozen 
embryos....

"The technique has its critics...Nuala Scarisbrick...commented that "the
whole idea makes babies seem like a commodity, something for when it is
convenient, when a woman sees a suitable window in her life, when she
has saved up enough money."

 
 
So let us propose this alternative to Ms. Scarsibrick: Babies are a
commodity for when it is inconvenient, for when a woman has no
suitable window in her life and for when she has not saved sufficient 
money.
 
Or all three.  That should fix everything, should it not, Ms.
Scarsibrick?
 
 
 
 " And from a parenting perspective, wrote Sue Arnold in the
Independent, being an older mother is no fun."
 
 
Then by all means, do not do it.
 
Oy vey, people say the dumbest things.
