Mr knowitall.:
this is crap...Invitro Fertilization means that the woman didnt get pregnant...the Laboratory gave her a baby......they

got the husband's sperm and the woman's egg and fertilized the eggs in the lab.....doing is this way....a 70 year old woman

can get pregnant if she has any eggs left...

I guess you really dont understand what it means for a woman to get pregnant or what pregnancy means. Furthermore, the process from egg fertlization to delivery is something that you dont really understand.
This is not about just fertilising eggs. It is much more than that.

Mr knowitall.:


Well you are right...in actuality she did get pregnant...because with Invitro fertilization an 70 year old woman can get

pregnant....this is completely because of science....its no big deal..they should have even done it much earlier

Really? And you believe that every single IVF results in a pregnancy? At 53? Try and get your facts right! SMH!,, gosh

Seems you got yourself some points here..damnn! Good thinking.

What is selfish about having kids even at the age of 70 or 90. You have oversimplified this matter or looking at it strictly from your own limitations. There is nothing wrong in having children and there is nothing selfish about it
God who gave the parents the kids and the huge sums of money,energy and perseverance and other assets that were applied to this matter will give them the resources including long life to take care of these kids.
Have you heard of endowment fund being created for kids. Do you also know the financial status of the parents? You are simply limited by your own circumstances. And accept my sympathies for your limitations.

dasparrow:

I totally get your point and I agree with you. I think that the reasons behind the average Nigerian wanting children is actually selfish. Most Nigerians are birthing children because they are looking for who will take care of them in old age. Heaven help them should their children turn their backs on them down the line. My bible tells me never to place my trust in human beings but in God only.

I also find it selfish when people who are dirt poor and can barely provide for themselves get married and then bring innocent children into this world just to join them in their poverty stricken condition. They raise their kids in slums and in face-me-I-face-you homes (you know, a single room with a kitchen and bathroom shared by all the other tenants). What of the ones who give birth to children and then are too busy to take care of them leaving their upbringing primarily in the hands of house helps?

Then you have the ones who don't even have what it takes to be a good and caring parent but because of that African mentality of 'what will people say?' they go and have children and later on the children grow up to become the 419 scammers, drug traffickers, thieving politicians, pros*titut*es (both within Nigeria and in Europe), runs girls, university cultists, agboros (touts), ritualists, pe*do*philes, r*a*p*ists and the likes that plague our Nigerian society and have earned us the bad reputation we have as a nation and people today.

Anyways, God is watching. Hopefully, God will give her and her husband the strength, good health and long life to raise those kids till they are old enough to take care of themselves.

I think you should just wish the parents and the twins well and leave the rest to God. Those matters about life expectancy and means of livelihood are beyond you.

chuksoyo21: [quote autho






But l held on to God because I’m a strong Christian and l know He never fails. I serve a living God who is faithful despite our unfaithfulness.


“My advice to every woman wanting fruit of the womb is that they should hold on to God and l pray for them that their joy should come into manifestation soon. There is nothing impossible for God, it could be difficult with man, but certainly not with God. If He can do mine at 53, it shows that no case is concluded.

“For me, l see it as a reward of my past shame. God has given me double glory, my two boys. It is more than a miracle.

the most astonishing thing here is the faith exhibited by this lady.
God, Show me mercy and favour like you did to this lady, in the name of Jesus Christ! Amen.


Amen. Amen. Amen

zeefever: It is good that the couple used medical technology to achieve their desire for children instead of going to a baby factory.
Ultimately however,all the glory goes to God.

The most satisfying aspect of this is that Islam is not against IVF. I dont know the position of christianity on it though. The doctor is a christian and I have often heard doctors saying " we care, God heals" So to those who are well educated on this and similar issues, there is no conflict between religion and science.

The views of Islamic scholars support IVF if the man and the woman are married under the Islamic law. check out the link below

tatiana009:

They may have collected her eggs years back and frozen them. Eggs actually remain viable for a long time.
That is not the case here. She said she heard about the hospital for the first time last year meaning she was already on menopause. Read her statement here
Wisdytech:
She admitted that she has almost giving up when it was obvious that menopause had set in, but continued to exercise her religious faith, until according to her, God directed her to St Ives Centre,
even when she was not having the required money to carry out the IVF circle.

I heard about St. Ives just by chance. That was in September last year. Coincidentally, l did my Masters programme at Obafemi Awolowo University,OAU, very close to the hospital, and l never knew this place existed. It was divine and all things work together for those that love God. READ MORE: http://dailypost.com.ng/2013/06/29/53-year-old-woman-gives-birth-to-twins-after-20-years-of-childlessness/
Who now donated the eggs she used? undecided
Re: 53-year-old Woman Gives Birth To Twins After 20 Years Of Childlessness by opedamosco: 10:26am On Jul 04, 2013
@tatiana009 and the rest.


Where in the world did you get your assumptions about the donation of egg, the freezing of egg and menopause from.

So many wild assumptions here that are not part of the story.

Maybe you should read the story again and perhaps get an interpreter. She was on the verge of menopause . She was not already on menopause. And there was no frozen egg.

I admire the couple for their honesty. God can reward a family babies through IVF. Some will claim it is a miracle to deceive the public. Pastors are not helping couples with subfertility. They encourage them to sell their property & sow seeds in the church instead of advising them to go to a fertility centre where their problems can be solved more objectively.

I give thanks to God the author of all knowledge(the science of IVF inclusive).
