Britain's Oldest IVF Mum

I remembered watching this some time ago. Susan Tollefson caused controversy when, at the age of 57, she became Britain’s oldest IVF mother. Now aged 61, Susan has admitted that she was too old to have a child, and thinks there should be an age limit for IVF.

It is interesting too see how this woman has changed her mind having experienced it first hand. Many people will disagree with her having a child at such an age but many also believe she is a great parent and that being an older mum isn't a problem, as long as she is taken care of in a loving environment. Many people also feel that age isn't the issue, only if conception is natural; if you have gone through the menopause it is your bodies way of telling you that you are not supposed to conceive.
