Remember
Super Woman? She’s the 67-year-old Spanish woman who became the oldest woman in the world to give birth – to twins! – last month in Barcelona. This week, her extended family is
speaking out against her choice to secretly undergo I.V.F. treatments in the U.S.
“My mother would roll over in her grave if she knew what my sister had done,” said Super Woman’s brother, Manuel Bousada de Lara, 73. “How are you going to bring up two boys at your age? We’re mystified why she would want to do this.” Indeed, that is the question on everyone’s mind.
How are you going to care for your twin toddler sons when you are 80 years old – and a single mother? And why did you choose to keep your fertility treatments a secret from your family and friends? Aren’t you going to need their help – like, yesterday? And who is the doctor that agreed to impregnate you? He needs to have his medical license revoked. (It totally figures that he’s American.)
On choosing to become a mother at this stage in her life, Super Woman (real name: Maria del Carmen Bousada de Lara) simply told the press “I have my motives.”
Um....
YIKES.
