Pregnancy in older womens

The statistics confirm a phenomenon that has been growing for several years. Pregnancies in women over 35 are increasing year after year, and affect the European countries, notably Spain. Since the late 70s has significantly increased the rate infants born to women 35 to 50 years of age.
A healthy pregnancy depends greatly on the health status of women and the elderly have. If the woman is healthy, will certainly have a good pregnancy. The age limit is important because after 35 years, began the gradual increase risk for Down syndrome and other chromosomal abnormalities.

Considering the risks of pregnancy in women over 35 should be allowed to women 50 or even 60 years to be artificially inseminated?

On the one hand there is the fact that doctors, from a physiological point of view, argue that the best time, the best age for having a baby is between 20 and 30 years. But due to many and varied reasons, women are not wanting or able to follow this account. Having a child at an older age has its advantages, if we start from the point where the woman already has an emotional stability, social and economic so that the mother would have a better economic and employment situation, he knows what he wants and responsibility that is to take care of a child, so it is an aspect that promotes good parenting and child development.
In contrast to the positive aspects presented above, there are several arguments against the pregnancy advanced age. First the risk of chromosomal abnormalities in the fetus, such as Down syndrome increases with the passage of years for women. The success rate of pregnancies in women over 40 years is close to 20% or even lower in some cases, compared to 38% per cycle in those with 36 years, according to the experts say. Therefore with increasing age of women, fertility decreases, while increasing almost complications, both in the form of abortions and chromosomal abnormalities of the fetus.
In conclusion, despite the negative aspects that were submitted earlier, the statistics confirm that every year the women take longer to become pregnant, and although the risk is greatest, most pregnancies do not present serious complications during pregnancy or during the birth.
I think the scientific development of the health sciences has helped reduce the risk posed by women who become pregnant and are between 50 and 60 years old, and therefore should not be denied artificial fertilization as a way to have a child.
