Amen, Sister!

"You gotta dance like nobody's watching, dream like you will live forever, live like you're going to die tomorrow and love like it's never going to hurt." ~ Meme Grifsters

I'm glad to see this opinion so prominently put forth. I agree.

Everyone of us is different. Why should we be judged as if we were all the same? Why should we be judged at all?

The writer's points on the ability of the father to reproduce offspring at an advanced age is not thought of as taboo, why should it be for the mother? And, she also notes what I see in my own life: my 85 year old mother interacting with her 30 year old granddaughters that both love, adore and seek her wisdom. (Plus, I live with her and I have - at times - the tendencies of a teenager!)

As much as the medical area of fertility treatment is positively advancing, the medicine of aging is also just as positively advancing... helping us lead longer, better lives. Why should we allow ourselves to be stuck living within the bounds of old paradigms? We shouldn't. And, I won't.
