To think women in their 70s shouldn’t be allowed IVF treatment

What good can come from this?

@Vegasdreaming27 Ok well any CCG that doesn’t offer IVF to women over 35 or offer it at all is ignoring NICE guidelines which states women under the age of 40 should be offered 3 cycles.

The doctor should be struck off and the parents are selfish arseholes. What will happen to two young orphaned girls in India?

"Its in the hands of God". You weren't saying that about 9 months ago though, eh

Unless they have an extended family who will take the twins on, actually even if they do, it's awful and should never have been allowed. They could be orphaned before they're 10. And I've seen, first hand, what can happen to orphans in India. Doesn't bear thinking about.

On twitter people keep saying ‘oh your western attitude, of course their family will look after them...’. Because girls are so cherished there. Maybe an aunt or uncle... oh they will be on the 70s and 80s too, or a cousin maybe, well they are probably, what 50, 60 (still old to chase after small children).

I love the way people always evoke ‘gods will’ when it’s something they want (wasn’t gods will when they couldn’t have kids eh?)

The doctor is unethical (I’m surprised she survived quite frankly, at least they didn’t try a vaginal birth) and so are the parents.

‘oh your western attitude, of course their family will look after them...’

Yeah because that'll make up for the fact they will probably have no parents before they are even fully old enough to comprehend what they means. I'm sure they wont be permanently scared by the fact they are orphans living with relatives with little to no memories of their parents...

Those tweets were interspersed with ‘gods gift’ and ‘blessings’ messages and ‘what the hell?????’ ones.

No wonder the dad had a stroke. How can he support himself let alone his wife and 2 babies? The baby milk alone will bankrupt them - I’m guessing the ‘good doctors’ didn’t thrown in some extra breast milk producing hormones for good measure.

So bloody selfish.

Whatever happened to 'do no harm'?

Those poor babies. Those parents are just bloody selfish.

It was just on radio 4. The babies grandmother said ‘the whole family will look after the babies’ ... grandmother?

It’s just so wrong. YANBU

How can they possibly say "it's in the hands of God"? Don't they realise the irony of that statement.

money talks,
it is appalling imo
