How old do you think is too old to be a parent? Would you have children at 72?

Wow! So, I came across this article in the New York Times about 'pelvic fitness.' Essentially, the article profiles a gynecologist who performs pelvic reconstruction surgery in New York.

Whether women are 30 or 60 years old, if they have a desire to rekindle a sexual romance founder of Women’s Sexual Health Foundation Lisa Martinez says go for it.
