thanks sooo much Alissa!
I'm only against this if it's unnatural - what I mean is, if a woman has waited that long to have children and needs to receive InVitro in order to conceive then I am against it.
However, if God naturally let's you conceive at that age, than who are we to argue?
Oh - I'm not against in vitro in general, just when it becomes at an unnatural age to have children. God gave us menopause for a reason. Apparently that's when the best sex happens (ha!) and so when we're that age he wants us to enjoy it without worrying about pregnancy. :)
hhaaha... thats awesome kort! best sex in mid 50's, hmmmm, how come so long to wait!? Yes, woman would have to use in vitro fertilization to have children passed the age of menopause. A women usually finishes menopause at age 56 (average) and becomes infertile at age 45, and starts menopause at age 51. I agree, Im not against in virto fertilization in general, just not for women who want children "just cause" at a time when the child will undoubtly end up with no mother early in life.
