>Obviously, they don't seem to care about the quality of life they will be Again, who are we to judge the quality of someone else's life? I recently read something in Ann Landers that really got me thinking. I read it the day after I found out I had miscarried again and my 41 year old husband was saying he was afraid he would be too old by the time we had a baby. A man wrote about how after his first wife died, he met and married a woman 20 years his junior. They decided not the have children -- after all he had kids and grandkids already. Several years later her "biologic alarm" rang, and she got pregnant. They decided to have the baby, a daughter. Two years later, when he was 60, they had a son. The father was retired by then. He took the kids to school, to soccer games. He wiped their runny noses and played hide and seek. He is now 88 and has a wonderful relationship wiht his 30 year old daughter and 28 year old son. Did those kids have a poor quality of life? I don't think so. "Too old" is a relative term. Kelly -- Kelly Shanahan, MD S. Lake Tahoe, CA
