Yes, a 30 year old can die tomorrow - but it's so much more likely for a 66 year old! By that theory, nobody would have children. Anyone can die tomorrow.
The difference being, a 30 year old dropping dead before their child hit adulthood would be an exception to the norm. A 66 year old living for 20 years would be plain exceptional.
It's selfish to even have a child that age if you're (somehow, for argument's sake) guaranteed 35 years from the day you give birth. How the hell do they think their child is going to feel when their MOTHER is as old as their friend's GREAT GRANDPARENTS.
My mum had me at 35, I felt embarrased at times because she was older (45 when I was ten) and old fashioned... if she'd been 76? Jesus, I'm 20 and my grandmother still isn't 76. Those children would be in for a rough ride in bullying terms and isolation, never mind the fact that someone that old just can't provide the physical effort needed.
What's the fun in playing if your mum needs a nap more than you do?
