There was no shortage of comments against the event. Many argue that a child should not be considered a right, but a gift of life that must be accepted with responsibility and awareness. Forcing nature and putting the health of the unborn child at risk with motherhood at an advanced age is an act of selfishness for some, against respect for life. The debate is open and the opinions are conflicting and controversial like the question of in vitro fertilization at any age and any cost. Perhaps learn to respect the times of nature and accept that everything has its right moment, including the maternity.
