Women and their Choices

I'm so disgusted this morning I fear this won't come out right.
Yesterday a 60 year old woman gave birth to twins thanks to the marvels of invitro. Need I say more?
In the interview she talked a great talk about choice and how as a baby boomer she's paved the way for future generations -- "I hope to be a role model to other women out there. To show them that anything is possible".
What kind of SELFISH future is that to have. Woman, I don't want any part of it!

Then you get to the whole mess of the life these children are in store for. More importantly, their health. C'mon, at 60 that uterus is far from functional. That means that not only did she conceive by artificial means (a treatment out there for women of bearing age who have difficulties) but she was probably also pumped with hormones throughout her pregnancy just to be able to carry them to term.

When are people going to understand that maybe things are designed a certain way, for a reason beyond the confines of science, that just because we can do certain things thanks to technology doesn't mean we should. If you're so attuned to your choices then make them and stick to them. I know that you're allowed to change your mind, you can make mistakes, but to defy nature so blatantly just because you had a fleeting fancy...

We've reached an age where women must be superheros, capable of doing anything and everything, all at once and in a perfect manner. Have your career, and your children. Get married, change your mind, or don't do it at all. But we don't stress the responsibility that comes along with those choices. So choose, and choose wisely. Live in the moment while not being crippled by the past but don't even set foot without a slight notion of what your choices mean for tomorrow. You're an individual and have every right to choose how you live but you're not in bubble. This world was not made for you and you alone.

Yeah, this means I'm back to the news in the mornings...where is the lull of the new peter bjorn and john song when you need it?
