70 year old gives birth to twins?? That’s just not right, in my opinion. Especially when you consider the reasons this woman gave birth at 70 years of age.
“A 70-year-old from Muzaffarnagar, India, became the world’s oldest woman to give birth after she delivered twins Friday.
Omkari Panwar, the wife of a retired farmer, delivered the twins — a boy and girl — via Caesarean section.
Panwar, who has two adult daughters and five grandchildren, underwent in-vitro fertility treatment so she could produce a male heir.
Her husband, Charan Singh Panwar, 77, mortgaged his land, sold his buffalos, spent his life savings and took out a credit card loan to finance the treatment.
“At last we have a son and heir,” he said. “We prayed to God, went to saints and visited religious places to pray for an heir.”
“We kept no stone unturned and God has rewarded us. The treatment cost me a fortune but the birth of a son makes it all worthwhile. I can die a happy man and a proud father.”
Now, do you care to see the pictures of these, uh ahem…….. beautiful babies? If the answer was yes, click here. Aren’t they cute? What? No? Yes? Don’t care?
I’m too tired to
HAPPY TRAILS, Y’ALL

Were the two adult female children they had not heirs?
The parents are of course not to blame for their antiquated thoughts about heridity.
I blame the medical team that did the in-vitro fertilization for this stupidity.
If you have been educated enough that you are a part of an in-vitro fertilization team then you should use that education wisely.
Which this medical team did not.

The two adult children were female and only males are considered heirs, and yes, I agree with your take on the medical team. They probably weighed the notoriety over their ethics.
