'Why?' 'Cuz we can.' -- when legal is not enough

Here again we come up smack dab into a situation where the people involved are substituting legality for morality

A ROMANIAN woman's decision to have a baby at 66, making her the world's oldest mother, has sparked an international outcry.

Retired professor and now single mother Adriana Iliescu gave birth to two daughters on Sunday after becoming pregnant through donated sperm and eggs. One of the girls arrived stillborn.

Victorian ethicists and church leaders have branded her decision as the ultimate act of selfishness.

This baby has no father and a mother that more than likely will be dead by the time she graduates high school. How cruel is that?

So now suggesting that a little girl having a dad and mom who she won't be buying a casket for when she's in middle school is "Victorian" ethics?!?

That poor child.

Now all we need is the Romanian equivalent of "Who's Your Daddy?" Think FOX will oblige?

A million Romanian Lei and a case of free slivowicz to the winner!
