I'm beginning to think I should create a category for "this is so wrong".
Not just that a 66-yr old woman chose to get pregnant and give birth. But that two of the three triplets died in the process. There has got to be an ethical consideration in our actions. Obviously, both the doctors and the patient gave little or no thought to the ethical side of their actions.
I imagine as we go forward into the 21st century we're just going to see more and more dubious actions sanctioned by the "scientific" community. I consider myself a rational, order-loving individual and I'm beginning to think that there should be an outcry about some of these things. We have to ask, "Is it right?" not just "Is it possible?".
