What kind of life are these kids going to have? These people will no doubt be dead before the kids are 10, and even if they arent the kids will spend their childhood years looking after their parents.
Well.. don't you think they would have thought about this before venturing into this? In any case, we do not know. But, I am sure they will have pondered over this and then took this decision.
Do you think poor people with 6-7 kids, who are unable to feed them, actually thought about it before getting knocked up 7 times? No they dont, because of illiteracy.
Well, afaik, this was an IVF procedure.. Before jumping the gun and blaming illiteracy, note that pregnancy at 70 is a high risk affair. So there is no question about the fact that this factor would have been considered. And performing an IVF is not as simple as going to a hospital and demanding the procedure to be done. On a 70 year old, its too risky. Only after ascertaining if the body is ready and capable of pregnancy will the doctors allow to proceed with such a procedure. Atleast this is better than female infanticide which is rampant. Also, there was no way the sex of the child could have been checked as sex fetal determination is prohibited by law here. Even if the parents were illiterate, the doctors ain't.
