Another news headline out of the repro-science labs: they can -- maybe eventually, sorta, possibly -- get viable eggs from postmenopausal women. Asked to chime in on the 'social implications' I have to first wrap my head around why women would want to become mothers in their 50's and 60's. Is it because we've made it so hard to have kids in our 20's and 30's, when our bodies are most ready for it? So -- call me crazy -- but might it not make more sense to solve that social problem rather than try to introduce a technological fix?
