California woman, 62, gives birth to 12th child (http://msnbc.msn.com/id/11451753/).
REDDING, Calif. - A 62-year-old great-grandmother has become one of the oldest women in the world to successfully give birth.
The healthy six-pound, nine-ounce baby boy is the 12th child born to Janise Wulf, who also has 20 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. Her oldest child is 40.
The article goes on to say that this is the couple's 2nd child in 4 years.
I'm all for reproductive technology, but I have to question if this is the best use of it. I'm surprised (should I be?) that a doctor would agree to this.
