On social taboos

December 9, 2008 by Andrea Mrozek 1 Comment

A woman has a baby at age 70. Bravo?

IVF has revolutionised the way we look at infertility,” said Bishnoi. “Infertility is no longer a social taboo or a divine curse. It can be treated scientifically.”

I disagree. Clearly infertility is still a huge social taboo when you have a woman toughing out IVF at 70–out of sheer desperation for a child she won’t be able to pick up or care for because she is too old. This ain’t no success story, that’s for sure. (And while I’m ranting, neither are the 45-year-old Hollywood types doing the same thing.)

    I’m sorry, but that is so selfish. There are so many children out there waiting to be adopted, needing a loving home. Was this really necessary? IVF is a really touchy subject. It is so loosely regulated in the U.S. Personally, as I said I think it is completely necessary.
