I wonder about the wisdom of this. Is it fair to the children (twins) who will have a 77 yr old mother and unknown father when they turn 20? Another abomination of New Age thinking......... Poor kids.
Please discuss.

NEW YORK (CNN) -- A 57-year-old New Age mystic is pregnant and could tie the record for the oldest American to give birth to twins.
Aleta St. James, a former actress whose Web site describes her as a healer and success coach, conceived the children through in-vitro fertilization, her doctor said.
She is scheduled to deliver her twins by Caesarean this week, according to The Associated Press.
"I'm very young and vivacious and my whole world is about manifesting, so I decided to manifest children," St. James said.
Jane Miller, director of the North Hudson IVF, a fertility clinic in New Jersey, said St. James was her patient for several years before she discussed in-vitro fertilization. "It wasn't like she just came to ask to become a record or be some statistic," Miller said.
