72-year-old new mom says she isn’t too old for parenthood

In a report by Sky News, Daljinder Kaur and Arman Singh had been trying to conceive for many years. “I had lost hope of becoming a mother ever”, said Kaur, who underwent two years of IVF treatment and had two failed attempts earlier.

Daljinder Kaur is happy to have a baby boy, who they’ve named Arman Singh.

For a septuagenarian to receive fertility treatments and give birth is an abomination, especially if she is lives in a Third World hellhole where there are hundreds of millions starving to death.

“The Gill couple have a combined age of 150 years, and it is impossible they could have had the baby through their own gametes, as the mother experienced menopause 20 years ago. We condemn such a practice”, the newspaper quotes Dr Bina Vasan, former president of the Indian Society of Assisted Reproduction (ISAR), Karnataka chapter as having said. AFP reports that Kaur, who is in her seventies, gave birth to her first child last month.

“Some people told me I was doing wrong and that I would feel sorry for that. Then we made her undergo all the tests and once all the results were OK we went ahead”. Another woman, also 72-years-old, from Uttar Pradesh state gave birth to twins in 2008 through IVF treatment. There was so much loneliness. “People say what will happen to the child once we die”. She invokes him every few sentences, perhaps with reason. Although it has been nearly a month, relatives, friends, and neighbours keep invading their living room to celebrate their good fortune and the media attention. Kaur’s health appears to be as good as her spirits, as Barcroft TV noted she is breastfeeding her son, assuaging some of the clinic doctors’ concerns.
