Is it normal that i believe people over 49 shouldn't have children?

Think about it: the likability of health problems is already increased drastically once a woman turns 35 and there's even greater risk in her 40s. I believe that if you're over 49, you should be forbidden to have a baby. Every child deserves to have its parent(s) until they reach adulthood. It's gross hearing how all these 50-somethings or older having kids. They're way too old for it so if they want kids so bad, then why not adopt? Surely if they want kids THAT bad but are physically too old to have their own they'd adopt. It's selfish to have kids in that advanced of an age group. You won't be able to gaurantee that child a healthy life and second, you can't even gaurantee that you'll be there to see your kid's 21st birthday at most because you didn't have a child 10 or more years earlier. Just so you know, my mother had me at 39. 49 Years Old should be the ABOLUTE age limit to have a child.

  • I think people should stop worrying about how others choose to live their lives and just focus on worrying about their own.

    It's not selfish. What if they had medical issues that stopped them having kids? It's better then all these 15 year olds having kids.
    Just because someone is older doesn't mean they won't love the child or care for it any less.

    Is that what we are worried about? That the parents won't make it to the child's adulthood? For fucks sake, maybe your parents were old in their 50's but not every 50 year old has a foot in the grave.

    Even 39 is a bit old, because of the increased likelihood of causing mental problems to the child, namely autism and Down's syndrome..

      This person is right. As you get older, your children are more likely to be born with mental defects.

    Ok, of course you are talking about the mother of the child. My uncle who married late fathered a child when he was 52 years old. His wife was just 35. They are very happy and have now another who was born two years later.
