Pregnant at 66

Would you get pregnant at 66? Do you think it's too old to get pregnant? It really depends on the situation. Take the case of Elizabeth Adeney, a 66-year-old woman from Suffolk, England, she is now 8 months pregnant. Some people may raise their eyebrows but for Elizabeth getting pregnant was really a target. She is a rich divorcee and for years she has been wanting to have a baby. She went to Ukraine to get to the controversial IVF clinic which has helped a number of women get pregnant using donor eggs and sperm.
A spokesman for the Church of England has said something interesting about Elizabeth's case:

"A child is a gift not a right. For those who have never received that gift we can well understand their desire to have children but it is always important to think in those circumstances about what is really in the child's best interests."
