At age 100 women will be able to give birth .. scientists claim.!!

Amazing, it seems like research should be done on other things. What woman in their right mind would want to reproduce at that age.

Hi saivenkat, After reading the article I'm in agreement that it could be possible, but I too would question why anyone would want to give birth at that age. I think that people will be living longer and healthier lives and the day may come when most children will be born to parents forty and over. If it is true that we become wiser with age, it might be better for the children. It is just amazing that so much is happening so fast. If we are going to live longer we had better begin paying attention to the quality of life. Blessings.

That is something else. I can see a woman giving birth to a child at age 100, but how in the world will she raise the child? She may be unable to play with a child the way most mothers do. she may not be able to do all of the things most mothers take their children to do also. She may not live long enough to see them graduate, get married or have children of their own either. That concerns me.

LOL that would be great ah? Getting to 100 and then being told that I was pregnant, I am pretty sure that it would be the news to finish me off quicker! Just saying that we were all to start living beyond 100 years, who on earth would want to get pregnant, I would just want to sleep all the time at that age!

Cheers to the minds of many? Holy moly - the thought of giving birth when I'm 100 leaves me speechless! By the time I was 40 I was well aware I no longer had the concentration to look after a baby or toddler - and by the time I was 50 I was totally over teenagers! I think the way reproduction works at the moment is a very good design and doesn't need tampering with.

Scientists also claimed we'd be living on the moon by the year 2000. Not to mention those flying cars and robot butlers they promised. And frankly, if you read a prediction in the Mail on Sunday, I'd expect the likelihood to be set back about 20 years just by them mentioning it.

"Great news.. and this will really bring cheers to the minds of many." Why? First, how many hundred year old women want a baby, as others have said, but secondly, why would anyone else want a hundred year old woman to have a baby? Are we short on babies? Are the orphanages empty? Is the population of the earth decreasing? What kind of nonsensical "progress" is this? Why don't scientists work on something that will help us instead??

thats fine to bear a child at the age of 100 will she live few years long to bring up the child??? anyways scientist might rock to find such things..

But will they want to? ANd won't it be difficult carrying that baby with osteoporosis. Imagine breaking a hip while giving birth. Just because we can do it, it does not mean we should do it.

Now if they could only do something about that pesky Aging process so your future Centenarian New Mom would be able to look after Her little Bundle of Joy without arthritic hands....Call Me cynical if you will,but if A Healthy Woman of "Traditional" Childbearing age CAN have kids,but chooses not to in that stage of her life,WHY would She want to do it (at greater expense,of course) when that phase of Life is over? DO 50+ Women want new Families? The chances of Genetic abnormality increase with age also,unless the smart people are planning to screen eggs and embryos to PLAN Designer babies before starting a test tube Pregnancy? A little too clinical for Me. There are over 6 billion People already on this planet.We are already taking action against overpopulation by restricting family size in Places,Contraception in others,We can't control Nature where Drought and Famine decimate populations,so WHY are we looking at extending Fertility? Just because we can do some things,Should We?

Modern science may discover anything but no woman will be willing to give birth at that age. Already only women are suffering from & also tired of monthly four days', nine months' pregancy & giving birth. No woman will be so healthy at that age to give birth & raise the child in good way.

Hi saivenkaat802003! I do agree with your opinion. However, I would not want to give birth at age 100 because that means, I have to work until I am over 100 to support and take care of my child. Goodness, where will I get the energy and stamina to work when at 100, my bones are all surely aching. And who is going to employ a hundred year old woman who has lots of health problems. Yikes! haha.. Take care and God Bless!

At 100 years old most people is already preparing to 'leave the world'. I don't believe anyone at that age would even think of wanting to be pregnant. In fact, could a 100 year old woman able to carry the weight of the baby because her bones are already so brittle, and her womb is already so weak. I honestly think that this is impossible, to say the least.

Wow, this technology is awesome if it would be realized. It's impossible to imagine but well, intersting. Anyway, no doubt our technology is becoming advanced now and for the years to come. Technology has indeed come a long way.

Why would a women of 100 want to give birth anyway. At that age if she had a child she would have to figure out who is going to take care of the child. That is a little to much for me. I believe in science improving things and ways to make our lives easier but that is not a way to make a womens life easier. To have a child at 100 is just to much.
