Pisces60-year-old Woman Gives Birth to Twin Boys
Associated Press: A 60-year-old woman gave birth to twin boys after undergoing fertility treatments, Canadian national media reported Thursday.
The Canadian Press news agency said the Calgary Health Region confirmed a 60-year-old woman had given birth.
Hayer told the CBC from her hospital bed that she had tried for decades to conceive naturally and with medical intervention and eventually went to India for fertility treatments.
The broadcaster said she became pregnant with triplets, but one had to be terminated because of medical problems.
Giving birth at that age is rare but not unheard of. Hayer gave birth less than two years after Frieda Birnbaum, 60, of Saddle River, N.J., had twins boys after undergoing in-vitro fertilization.

This bothers me, not as much as the octuplets, but a lot because she is 60!!! Be reasonable. Once you hit a certain age, it is not right to have more children, when you re 80 and possible dead, they will be 20. What kind if childhood is it where you have to tell your friends that this is your mother, not your grandmother, and that you will be right back because she needs to go to the bathroom and its time for her meds? This last bit happens to most of us naturally, but not when you are 12.
Just to clarify, this woman did indeed go to INDIA for in-vitro… she would NEVER be allowed to do this in Canada, where the babies are born.
This, to me, is just as an important ethical issue as the octoplets!
