Sarah, wife to Abraham was in her 90’s when she had Isaac. It’s never too late.

Geriatric maternity is a positive Biblical theme: every time God wants to do something big, really BIG for the Chosen People, some old lady gets pregnant!

I don't object to women who can conceive and bear a child at an unusually mature age, by natural spousal intercourse.

However, the laboratory-based pregnancy described in the article was clearly not a gift of the spousal embrace, but a kind of experiment, a science project. No husband is mentioned; four-at-a-time undoubtedly means drug-induced hyperovulation of some poor female (A donor? A vendor? Related? Unrelated?) followed by IVF.

God bless these children, but they wee conceived in a way that demeans their own dignity.
