What a waste that the oldest mom is dead at 69

World's Oldest' Mom Gave Birth at 66, Dead at 69.

A Spanish woman believed to have become the world's oldest new mother when she gave birth at age 66 has died, leaving behind twin toddlers, newspapers reported Tuesday.

Maria del Carmen Bousada, who reportedly died Saturday at age 69, gave birth in December 2006 as a single mother after getting in vitro fertilization treatment.

She told an interviewer she lied to a California fertility clinic about her age, and maintained that because her mother had lived to be 101, she had a good chance of living long enough to raise a child.

Bousada's death was reported by the newspaper El Mundo and Diario de Cadiz. Cadiz is the southern province where Bousada lived her whole life.

Diario de Cadiz quoted her brother, Ricardo Bousada, as confirming her death but refusing to disclose the cause. The newspaper said she had been diagnosed with a tumor shortly after giving birth.

There was no word on who would raise the children, named Pau and Christian. Bousada had once said she would look for a younger man to help her raise them.

In January 2007, she told the British tabloid News of the World that she sold her house to raise $59,000 to pay for the in vitro fertilization.

What a waste is exactly what I think of this situation that this woman would subject her children to this kind of ludicrous behavior. Hell she knew she was old when she first decided to have these kids, to make matters worse she knew that she would not probably live to see them grow up. Now their is a woman that is 70 wanting to have kids, what?

I think that there should be a limit that a woman should even consider having more children. Unfortunately the one that will suffer the most will be the children!
