I agree that everyone should be able to choose when they wish to produce offspring, but I feel that parents shouldn't be allowed to reproduce that late. It's unfair on the children and is only selfish.
What if it happens by accident?
Where should the age limit be set?
What should be the consequences for those who violate the law - forced abortion or turning the kid over to the state's foster care system?
And if there's such a thing as being too old to ethically reproduce, surely there is also such a thing as too young; where should that age limit be set?
In these cases, could there be a way to factor in family situations? (Example: very old or very young person gives birth with the understanding that relatives of normal child-rearing age will help to raise the child from the start.)
