Sad But Almost Inevitable

The world's oldest mother is dying just 18 months after giving birth at the age of 70.

Very sad, but it does raise the obvious question as to why doctors helped a woman of that age become a mother.

'The doctor never warned me it was dangerous to have a baby at my age. But I was healthy before, and now I am very sick.'

Does anyone really need to be told that having a baby at 70 might have health risks?
