A woman aged 60 in Canada went for fertility treatments in India and conceived twins. She gave birth to them at 7 weeks prematurely and both mother and babies are in intensive care unit.

The full story is as follows:

CALGARY, Alberta (AP) – A spokesperson for the Calgary Health Region says a 60-year-old woman has given birth at a city hospital.

The western Canadian health region would not give details, but CBC Newsworld reported Thursday that the woman had twins after fertility treatments in India.

The CBC said Ranjit Hayer’s two boys were delivered seven weeks prematurely by cesarean section at Calgary’s Foothills Hospital earlier this week.

The mother was recovering in intensive care and doctors said the twins were doing well in neo-natal intensive care.

Earlier when I read that a first-time mother gave birth to her baby at age 70, I was baffled and I wondered why people at such age would bother to go for fertility treatments just because they long for kids. At that stage, they should be more responsible and think about the future of the kids that they bring up.

It looks like a lot of mothers are quite selfish and don’t think enough about the consequences of the children when the elderly parents pass on while they are still young and defenseless.
