Why would anyone do this?

Why in the holy freaking hell would an almost 57 year old woman WANT to become pregnant in the first place??? It's just sick. Am I wrong here? I'll be 37 in February and I'm thinking I'm just about too old to go down that road....... shit, I barely have the energy to get through the day on my own, and the thought of chasing after a youngin (twins, no less) doesn't sound all that appealing. I had a whole shitload more energy when I was 25, but it's dwindling by the truckload, at warp speed, and aside from the use of let's say 'pharmaceuticals,' I don't know how to stop it. If you know, please enlighten me.

Not only that, but evidently the woman who runs the fertility clinic where Aleta St. James was (turkey-basted, for lack of the correct phrase I'm looking for) has been getting inquiries from other 'older' women in response to all the media attention surrounding these births. WTF? I've heard of the mid-life crisis but this is way over the top.

I obviously don't have children, so I haven't been through the 'miracle of childbirth' - which I hear is wonderful by the way, although I would plan on being drugged up to the point of not knowing my name. However, this lady's got some seriously steel balls to go through such an experience at that age.

It's like hearing that a mother is still breast-feeding her 10 year old son. Just seems sickeningly wrong, doesn't it?
