"It's great news that the lady has given birth. She must have prayed for it all her life. But will they be able to take care the child when it grows up," asked Noorie, a surfer on KT's Facebook page.
Farook Mustafa, a young father, had similar concerns.
"At this age the woman has already retired, and probably the father too. So how will they take care of their children with a fixed retirement income? Expenses are rising everyday," he commented.
Alisha S., a teacher, needed answers to some more serious questions.
"What will happen when the parents die by the time they touch 70? Who will take care of the child? I hope there is a safety net."
The online audience is not the only group of people raising doubts.
Medical experts have expressed reservations for IVF pregnancy after 60 using third party assistance, which is declared illegal in the country. Due to late marriages and growing number of divorce cases in the UAE and other Gulf countries, many aged women approach infertility clinics seeking help. But doctors have warned against IVF in older women which can cause ethical and health hazards for the mother.
"Having a baby is the greatest dream for me and my wife. For the last 16 years I have undergone treatment in various places and it has cost me around Rs1.5 million," said Abdul Hameed, an Indian manager at a fuel marketing company who is in his mid 40s. "We have spent a lot of money and time on treatment. We haven't still given up hope. Our hopes go up when we hear news like this," Hameed added.
Dr Gautam N Allahbadia, IVF Consultant and Medical Director, Aster IVF and Women Clinic, Dubai, said he is not in support of aged women getting pregnant using third party assisted reproduction. This is not permitted in several countries including the UAE, said Dr Allahbadia. "Many patients come to us for IVF, and we do it only if they are below 45 years and have their own baby genetically." he said.
