Traditionally if a woman of advanced years decides to have a baby it provokes quite intense reaction from both those who say it's right and those who say it's wrong.

I wonder if the same feelings are aroused by an old man fathering children.

That reminded me that Tony Randall was 77 and 78 when his two children were born.

I think it's bittersweet to have children so late in life when you know you will probably not live to see them grow up.

Poor woman will be changing diapers for both her son and her husband.

I think it's just wrong.

It's unfair to the kid, you know when you have them that late that they're going to have to grow up without a father or mother.

It's more from a health stand point of both baby and mother when she is older.
When a father is old, as you can see from other comments, it is more of an emotional issue.

Yes the health issue can become serious when an older woman gives birth.

The older mothers have a much higher incidence of births where the baby is mentally or physically impaired. Not a good idea.

There is research that is beginning to show that old-man sperm has a similar effect. Though it's less immediately apparent, and it's fairly new research.
