Life expectancy is about 80 in your country RIGHT NOW, you don't know how it is in 40 yrs, propably closer to 90.
So the parents can maybe celebrate the kids 50th birthday.

Or did you mean birth risks and higher risk for some illnesses?

Hope the baby is happy, healthy and everything goes well.

At her age, the chance of miscarriage is dangerously high at 40-50%, hope it really works well for her.

Technically yes, higher age pregnancy significantly increase the risk of birth defect related diseases and it takes longer for the mother to recover, but since Jessica and Boxer are a successful and wealthy family they sure will use better medical care to lower the risk as far as possible, it's not really something to worry about these days.

No wonder Germany's birthrate is so low if people consider that once you turn 40 you've missed your chance to ever have children

First they all want a carreer
When they are 40 they suddenly feel they miss something in their life.
But then they think 40 is too old.
That is why in countries where education and career is something normal people won't achieve anyways have a healthy birthrate.

Exactly, rich and famous people don't have to live by the same rules as the rest of us.

In the US advanced maternal age is 35 btw. So this isn't normal in the US either, but it's not unheard of.

Also, in parts of Asia, advanced maternal age is 30(!).

Add 8-10 years and I would agree, but 42 doesnt seem crazy. On the higher end of standard, maybe, but irresponsible? Why?


rate of down syndrome rises to 1/32 over 40
and that is only one risk

Playing Starcraft 2 professionally is also very irresponsible. It significantly raises the risk of long-term wrist injuries. Really, didn't these guys think before deciding on their career?

Seriously, why do people ever think these kinds of arguments make any sense whatsoever?


honestly man I don't agree with it it but there's a difference between choosing to hurt your own wrist and have a shitty career and choosing something risky to create a new person who might be disabled for life.


But you arent hurting anyone: the baby you make when 40 is another baby than the one you could have had earlier

Actually it's not that expensive for ordinary people either, generally early 40s aren't dangerous any more. You see plenty of ordinary US mothers giving birth to a child these days.

the risks aren't THAT high that you should not consider having children at 42 lol

not to mention there are people who are disabled who are much happier than people that are perfectly healthy, it's pretty irrelevent

In Switzerland, everyone gets that medical treatment thanks to national health insurance...

It is also irresponsible to get pregnant when you are young, don't have steady job for both parents, poor, uninformed, uneducated, living in a country which doesn't have the best health care available and to get pregnant at all.

It's probably also irresponsible to get kids if you are so miserable that your respons to happy news is "That sucks, you should feel really guilty about this".
