The Minister of Health of the Generalitat de Catalunya, Marina Geli has dismissed regulate in vitro fertilization in accredited public centers according to the age of the applicant, although there is an ethical and scientific agreement so that there are no cases like that of the 67-year-old woman who just gave birth to twins at the Sant Pau Hospital in Barcelona, whose in vitro fertilization was carried out in a center in the United States .
Geli recalls the self-limitation of not fertilizing women older than 50 years that the Spanish Fertility Society (SEF) establishes in the guidelines, and that although it cannot be stopped at the exact age, if the physical and emotional state of the woman and the environment in which the little one will live, taking care that the development of both is satisfactory.
Having a child is a wish that, having not been fulfilled, never fades. It is a very complicated decision and it is more difficult to judge from outside, in fact they cannot be grandmothers either. We do not think that any of these older moms think selfishly when they want to live the experience of being a mother, because being a mother is giving life to your child and taking it forward with the best you have, which as we see, the capabilities are studied by professionals. How many young mothers have babies and they don't receive the basics, love, care and good food.
