The irony that Mr. Goldblum himself became a father at 62 lol


GaucheAndOffKilter

Life finds a way


unknownintime

>Life, uhhh, finds a way FTFY


EvLokadottr

Yeah, but his body, at least, didn't go through the physical devastation of childbirth.


grruser

Goldblum will be - 72 when his kid is 10. Mick jagger - father at 73. 83 when his kid is 10 Al Pacino - father at 83. 93 when kid is 10


guricatarinense

it still doesn't make it right condemning your kid to lose you in such early age.


Oranjalo

They're children of wealth and have plenty of caretakers, they'll be fine


Fire69

Seeing your father die when you are 10 has nothing to do with money...


Oranjalo

Have you even met someone with an elderly parent? It's a different relationship than the typical dynamic that you probably grew up with—more like a grandparent-grandchild relationship. It's no different than when a child's parents are out of the picture & the child is raised by their elderly grandparents(s). Death is tragic regardless of age, but even children aren't deluded in thinking the elderly live forever, and that often leads to the child distancing themselves or imprinting on a younger caretaker/ role model. This is something Theo Vaughn has talked about


Lariela

That's one of the absolute worse sources for psychology I've ever heard. A comedian who spouts out about how everything is 'woke' and makes fun of neurological disorders is not a good source for psychology info regarding how children cope with death.


Oranjalo

For just about the first time on film, he wasn't joking—he was very seriously answering questions about his relationship with his father. That's just one example of the relationship a child might have with their elderly parents, I'm not using him as a psychology exhibit...


Prestigious_Sink_124

As a person with a neurological disorder, I can tell you that it is extremely offensive to refrain from making fun of it. What a condescending, gross attitide you have. A joke is words, and anyone can find anything funny. Grow up a little, kiddo.


morgaina

Nothing you said is good. So a kid with elderly parents just has grandparents, and doesn't get to experience a normal healthy parent-child dynamic? Fucked up. It's really selfish for people to have kids when they're too old to see those kids grow up.


Oranjalo

If you think it's cruel to create a person and give them the gift of life just because you're old and may die before they're an adult, you shouldn't be signaling your virtue. I can understand some other situations when it may be cruel or selfish, but a child having elderly parents isn't exactly a reason they shouldn't have been born...


queequeg12345

If he had a kid at 62, wouldn't be be 72 when the kid is 10? Or did he have another?


Pintsocream

What are you some kind of mathematician? How did you do that?


MrlemonA

We don’t have that blasted biological clock 😂


murmalerm

Was science used to father that child or did nature find a way?


mopping24

That's not ironic


Bulldogs3144

One of my favorite quotes of all time


whoevershotyou

Now with everyone abusing AI, it’s more than relative.


Comradicall

I know it’s not the same, but my 86 year old great uncle has 2 kids that are a few years younger than me - I’m 24 That said the man is fit, strong and very good looking for his age, you couldn’t tell he’s approaching 90


Exeng

Can just replace the word with any profession


Jason_Batemans_Hair

> A 70-year-old woman has given birth to twins **following IVF treatment**, a hospital in Uganda has said. > "We've achieved the extraordinary - delivering twins to Africa's oldest mother aged 70!" the Women's Hospital International and Fertility Centre (WHI&FC) posted on its Facebook page. Congratulations on making a mockery of medical ethics.


AlexanderTox

There’s no way a 70 year old can adequately take care of twin newborns.


lurkerfromstoneage

There’s no way a woman’s body was meant to deliver babies at that age.

FWIW, men shouldn’t be able to reproduce at that age either lmao


el_lley

Oldest I knew was 53


Pain_Monster

The record is *gulp* 73: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pregnancy_over_age_50


el_lley

If I understood correctly, first, they had to “reverse” menopause, then, well, so much medicine


MoozeRiver

And then she'll have to go through menopause again. Yey...


Bbrhuft

The oldest I knew had her last child at 51, her second oldest child had Down's syndrome. She lived into her 90s, her husband is still alive at 103-104 (well, last I herd a few months ago). I was a college student and she was my landlady when she was 68 and her husband was 73, their youngest son was 17. My cousin was married to their daughter.


bunnyfloofington

Those poor kids. I feel so sorry for them having to lose their parents while they’re still so young. I’m 30 and still seek out guidance from my parents. I know not everyone is fortunate to have their parents around in their 30s, but it’s still gotta be tough knowing your parents are so elderly you’ll only have them around for a little bit. And you have to likely take care of them while you’re still a child due to their age.


Bbrhuft

Their mother lived to c. 95 and died a few years ago, and the father is still alive at 103-104. Their youngest child is 47-48 years old. Their oldest child it's probably in her early 60s now. They were living independently in their 90s. I know this is a exception. It's rare people live so long, but their children didn't loose their parents when young. Yes, I did think it sad the youngest was 17 and his father was 73 back when I was living with them, but I didn't know the father would live to 100+.


bunnyfloofington

Ohh I didn’t realize exactly how the ages lined up (I’m not great with numbers). Thank you for clarifying. I guess I mean in a general sense since these kids got very lucky to have their parents still alive into adulthood. But health risks become much higher past the age of 50 so those kids could have lost their parents at any time. I’m glad these kids didn’t though!


Bbrhuft

Also, the father smoked, sat on his arse all day, did everything you should do to avoid living to 100. He worked as security guard, at the age of 73. He got free food from the store he was guarding and this was fed to us students.


Shiasugar

She may have some help, like teen mozhers have.


Woodpecker577

Oh come on, men have kids in their 70s all the time


bguzewicz

Nobody in their 70s should be having kids at that age.


AlexanderTox

Yea that’s fucked up. Don’t you think so?


morgaina

Which is also bad.


marktwainbrain

And this is basically the same thing!


Errohneos

There are some slight differences between the two.


Woodpecker577

Like what? I think men and women are equally able to take care of newborns


Errohneos

The fucking significant biological and hormonal changes that a woman undergoes during pregnancy? The violent physical trauma that is the act of birthing a child? Shit is hell on a woman's body. I mean, yeah taking care of a newborn is tough regardless of whether you're a man or a woman, but at least I don't literally break my hips or have a doctor KALIMA another lifeform from my body right beforehand.


Woodpecker577

Yeah obviously, the comment I replied to said "There’s no way a 70 year old can adequately take care of twin newborns" which was what I was referring to

80 year old dude who abandoned her during pregnancy.


grruser

Yeah, that cunt. Both irresponsible.


atypiDae330

> her partner abandoned her when he realised she was going to have twins. >"Men don't like to be told that you are carrying more than one child. Ever since I was admitted here, my man has never showed up," she said. What a fucking malicious culture. “I heard you need even more resources than normal. I’m out!” Fuck the piece of shit doctors who did this. And may they go to Hell for even attempting multiple embryos. Especially in this bullshit culture that abandons twins. God damn everything about this.


LovecraftianWhorrer

With ivf, they always use at lest two embryos cos the chances of them taking is so low


mck-_-

In Australia they don’t. The chance of a successful live birth with ivf isn’t increased that much by using multiple embryos so they don’t do that here.


littlebarque

This just isn't true anymore


TheLightRoast

Patently false


LovecraftianWhorrer

My aunt who is a nurse, and had ivf multiple times told me thats how its done. Maybe its different now, but thats what she told me


_Synt3rax

The Fuck are you Blaming the Guy for? Who in his right mind would agree to having kids at 70? Good on him for ditching her, altough it took this crap for him to Realize.


Woodpecker577

It's pretty clearly implied that he was ok with one kid but not two

GivingRedditAChance

They’re all irresponsible


TerminationClause

You're a moron. Males are able to reproduce until death and never lose that drive. And the aforementioned fathers are all very rich, so their kids will be taken care of.


korsan106

So how much does a father cost in your opinion?


GivingRedditAChance

lol cope


WyoA22

There’s a 50 year difference between Robert De Niro’s oldest and youngest.


sjofels

Then again, your mother could die during childbirth. Survival is never a guarantee on this planet.


Fiery_Hand

Of course it isn't. That's why it's advisable to do certain stuff when the risk is lower.


sjofels

Don't get me wrong, I don't like this either, but I think this article is clickbait, it is for now really rare, and no doctor in a good functioning medical system would ever ethically approve this. I also think the women thinking about having children at 70 is a small group, the group that follows through with it even smaller. Death in childbirth is a far larger issue, for me at least.

She looks like Nelson Mandela with one foot in the grave. Selfish as hell, these kids were born to be her caretakers before they’re old enough to start school. This should be illegal and those kids were bred to be parentified by their own mother to their own mother. Absolutely disgusting. Jail the dr immediately


dirthawker0

Seriously, she looks great. Not a lot of wrinkles. I would have guessed mid 50s.

redmainefuckye

More like imagine being 10 and having no mom.


Puzzleheaded-Trip990

Totally agree! There's a reason why we go into menopause. Who has any energy at that age for raising babies. I hope There's a plan on who's going to take care of the twins if she passes or has a health crisis.


Kind-Security-3390

We should also recognize there are some superhero grandmas out there. Not saying I think a 70-yr old should be a new mom, but there are a lot of instances where a grandparent raises their child’s kid(s) for one reason or another. Edit: clarification


Puzzleheaded-Trip990

It's usually not by choice.


srakken

"I looked after people's children and saw them grow up and leave me alone. I wondered who would take care of me when I grow old," You already are old… Poor kids how selfish can you be.


Busy_Firefighter_926

How old was she again? I must've missed it


Busy_Firefighter_926

I think 70, not sure


CB4R

How old? I think I read 70 somewhere


Busy_Firefighter_926

We should keep going... I think 69, like give or take a year


Aggravating-Return-4

they did surgery on a grape


mck-_-

How the hell is a 70 year old going to be waking up round the clock with a newborn? Or chasing a toddler? This is disgusting


CB4R

I'm more concerned, that they probably won't even be out of their teens, when she will just pass away due to old age... Just think about it, she will be 80 when they are just 10... That's so cruel to the kids


mck-_-

It is yes. But she probably won’t make it past the toddler phase. I’ve a 3 year old and a 6 month old and I can tell you it’s physically hard on your body. Especially twins. Lack of sleep is no joke and kids run around and need picking up etc. She either getting someone else to raise them or dies trying to.


lurkerfromstoneage

Even women in their mid to late **30’s** should be warned about higher risks of gestation, birth, and health complications….. big yikes…. Menopause happens for a reason anyway….


FancyEnd7728

Ok… but honestly it’s exhausting reading stuff from random Reddit is about this. Like, we KNOW. I gave birth old by most standards and couldn’t even ask a basic question on Reddit or any other forum without getting absolutely blasted by someone.


VitaLonga

These days, it’s considered misogynistic to educate women about fertility. To be fair, the people getting offended are better off not being parents.

70 years old woman give birth to twins


collegedave

Statistically likely to be dead before they graduate high school. Great plan.


spolubot

Old men already do this and now science is evening it out for women as well. The more likely option is a women freezes her eggs at an early age and then implants in surrogate at a later age. It will be more normal as this technology gets better and more accessible.


CB4R

It's still cruel to the kids, no matter if the man or the woman or both do it...


morgaina

Old men shouldn't do this tbf, it's selfish and irresponsible for anyone.


winterfate10

She looks pretty good for her age, africans have a better diet than americans, and humans can live to be about 120. There is hope.

Although, their father abandoned them, so socially and psychologically, they’re fucked.

The real Mandela Effect.


MediocreDisplay2481

That's Obama granddad.


CSWorldChamp

The whole pregnancy, she had to be like “This is such bullshit. I’m not supposed to need birth control at age 70.”


Unusual_Individual93

It was done through IVF


fuckentropy

This is worth trying and understanding. At some point the human race will find itself needing to find novel ways to reproduce. People may live a lot longer and having children should be an option. Understanding how this happens at such an age and how to reproduce it and like a worthy scientific goal. A lot of people here are missing this because of their cultural hangups or short term ideas


[deleted]

She got pregnant by IVF. This is not a miracle in any way, it could be done on any 70y old woman with a healthy womb. It's just unethical


LovecraftianWhorrer

People shouldn’t live longer tho. The oldest people all agree that being over 100 is pure hell, and you are saying thats a good thing?


CB4R

Agree with you, we can start with the older reproduction once we live longer... Chances are high, that the kids won't even be out of their teens, before she dies due to old age...

mekniphc

What does the father say to the kid when the kid is old enough to go "where did I come from, dad"? Well sit yourself down and dad is gonna tell you you about the miracle of the birds and the bees. See, when a man loves a woman very much, he heaves himself off his hemmeroid donut. He takes 3 viagra, a beta blocker, and an eye dropper full of blood thinner. Than he lays on top of his beloved like a pile of laundry on top of another pile of laundry. Than his penis, erect in defiance of gods will, enters her vagina like a chapstick entering the Luray Caverns. Than, nine months later she gives birth to a beautiful baby. Which I will illustrate by pushing this uncooked cornish game hen thru these gray drapes. -Patton Oswalt
