Oldest Woman To Give Birth Dies, Leaving wins

Maria del Carmen Bousada, lied to a California fertility clinic to skirt its age limit. At age 66 she had twins, becoming the world's oldest new mom — and raising questions about maternity so late in life. Now she is dead at age 69, leaving behind boys not yet 3.

Should there be laws or regulations in place prohibiting fertilitiy treatments of women past a certain age? How old is too old to become a new mother?
