German Woman Pregnant at 65

     In Berlin, Germany there is news of a 65-year-old woman who is now pregnant with quadruplets. This same woman is also the mother to 13 more children. The mother is a Russian and English teacher in Berlin and has been traveling overseas to receive artificial insemination for the last year and a half. These attempts worked, and now the mother is going to have 17 children before the age of 70. In my opinion, this instance is morally wrong because the woman is not a young, vibrant woman that she used to be. She may still be working and very much alive; however, it is not fair to her many children to have to grow up without a mother. I also do not understand how she can afford to feed and clothe all these children on a teacher's salary, even with millions it would be hard to support a family of 17. My father is 60 years old, but he will be able to see my graduate college, unlike the mother of these quadruplets. Also, I do not think that it can be healthy for a woman of that age to undergo a birth, much less safe for the babies.
