A 73-year-old woman in India has given birth to twin girls.

Erramatti Mangayamma, a farmer from the southern state of Andhra Pradesh, is believed to be the oldest person ever to give birth.

Crazy. Why did she wait so long I wonder. Hope both she and her husband live long enough to raise them to adulthood.

I’ve been wondering whether this is fake news or what?

Not fake at all. Quite true.

A 72 year old gave birth a couple of years back. Also Indian. Something in their culture about being childless I guess.

Doctors over there should be locked up from doing IVF for these over 70 people.

I wonder if it is the parents plan to have their own children take care of them in their old age?

At the ages those parents are I can't even imagine they'd be much able to care for the kids till they reach adulthood. Or even to be around till the kids grow up.

This is nuts. They won't be around to see those kids into adulthood. Although I think it is highly irresponsible, at least a 60 year old giving birth has a good chance of being around until the kid is 20-25. There is 0 justification for this.

The best age to have kids is between 25-35. I can understand kids from 36-45, but then that starts to affect retirement planning.
