Should there be an age limit for artificial insemination?

Asked by troubleinharlem (7991points) February 1st, 2011

In Development Psychology today we were talking about how there was a woman who, at 63, gave birth to a child using in-vitro technology. The age limit at USC was 55, but she had lied about her age and eventually got through the whole process without a catch.

Some people were saying that women should not be mothers after a certain age, and that’s why I asked this question.

So, what age should artificial insemination or in-vitro stop, and why?
Are there societal limits that come into play?
