...basis of age. She went to Italy, where gynecologist Dr. Severino Antinori says he has helped 47 women over the age of 50 give birth at his Rome clinic. In the U.S. most doctors and clinics have already answered the question by parceling out the limited space in in-vitro fertilization programs to women under 45 on the grounds that younger women are more likely to succeed in the program and would be less prone to complications...

He and his team had no desire to mass-produce babies; they were simply extending their research in the field of in-vitro fertilization, using every means at their disposal to help couples who are unable to have children. Yet they found themselves condemned on all sides. Japanese doctors called their experiment "unthinkable," and the Vatican accused them of opening the door to "a tunnel of madness...
