Jenny Brown is a 72-year-old who is trying to become the world's oldest mother. Having already spent $62,000 on fertility treatments in an effort to give birth, Brown is hoping to start a seventh go-round of in-vitro fertilization.
Brown, who currently lives in a three-bedroom flat in London, England, has said she has always wanted a baby but decided to spend her younger years devoted to herself and the pursuit of degrees in medical sciences and zoology. She finally decided in her early 50s that the time was right for her to try her hand at maternity and so she started looking for a sperm donor. When she failed to get pregnant naturally, she started the IVF treatment. Twenty years later, the idiot still hasn't clued into the fact that she is not Benjamin Buttons. She is getting older, not younger, and should consider the fact that were she to succeed against all odds, she may be putting the baby at risk in so many ways. In other words, Ms Moron should try thinking about someone else for a change.
At her age, for instance, should she make it close to the day when she goes into labour, she and baby might find themselves in the midst of eclampsia, defined as "a convulsive state: an attack of convulsions or coma late in pregnancy in an individual affected with pre-eclampsia". That would be a great way for Baby Brown to start with life, wouldn't it, with Mommy dying as s/he makes an entry. While I know there will be those who will say every mother faces possible risks with pregnancy, even those who are young and in the best of health, I think we would all have to agree that any risk factor would be increased exponentially by Brown's seventy-plus years.
Ms. Brown is sure she will live through it all and stay around long enough to raise Baby, saying she hopes to live to be 100. Don't we all? The norm is simply not to plan on dying, but Brown simply is not being realistic. The self-centred mental midget poses more than an increased risk for pre-eclampsia to any baby she might carry. For an educated woman, she certainly does a tremendous job of acting like someone whose deck is several cards shy of a full one.
Now, Little Miss Jenny Jerk is even appealing for women aged 20 to 35 to come forward and donate eggs because she is determined not to use a surrogate. Her reason? Well, “It's important that I carry the baby myself because I believe that even if I get pregnant with a donated egg, I will pass genetic material on to the baby while I carry it in the womb,” Brown says. “I believe the baby will look more like me that way.” Give your head one hell of a good shake, Ms. Peabrain. With your supposed degrees in medical sciences and zoology, you know bloody well that Baby will look like the two who supplied the egg and the sperm. You won't figure in anywhere, other than as a risk factor, a great, big risk factor.
It's damn near impossible to see Brown's current quest for motherhood as little more than a quest for entry into the Guinness Book of Records. For her dedication to being a first-class idiot, however, full membership in the Idiot Alert Files is hereby awarded to Jenny Brown.

OK, Jenny is a fucking idiot. If she's really educated, she would know how that genetic info can't be transferred from her womb ... she would only be feeding the fetus. Sigh. Why do I even bother. There is no cure for stupidity.
