I came across this article today about a 70 year old woman who gave birth to twins. Why was she pregnant at 70? Because she needed a male heir of course. At first I was speechless, but then I started reading the article. The woman's husband, who is 77, spent everything they had to get the IVF procedure done. "He mortgaged his land, sold his buffalos, spent his life savings and took out a credit card loan to finance the treatment." This part irritated me even more. Why wait until you are 70? This woman risked her life and the life of her twins just to get a male heir who will not only have absolutely nothing to his name(except the debt from the procedure), and whats more, he will have no parents to raise him and his unwanted twin sister. What kind of a legacy is that for your child?
