She should be spending money on Alzheimer's treatment instead, because she's obviously lost her mind. What sort of wacky science did she study that makes her think that donor eggs and sperm would get "genetic material" from her uterus and make the child look like her? She's nuts!

Wow: if she's got that much energy I'm stuck on my own with an energetic 2yr old for the summer and I'm already exhausted - perhaps she'd like to put in a bit of practice and help me out?! All the grandparents are in their late 70s, what with my MIL's broken hip, my FIL's heart by-pass and the occasion my other son broke my Uncle's rib by running into him - they all find it a bit too tiring to lend a hand . . .

What kind of mother thinks more about herself than her child?
She'd be 91 before the child was adult. The odds of her living that long aren't good. The odds that she'll still retain all the faculties necessary for looking after a child are worse still.
Selfish, selfish, selfish.

just because something is technically possible, that does not mean it should be done.
women who are no longer naturally fertile should just accept the fact. it is wholly selfish and shows a complete disregard for the feelings and emotional wellbeing of the (potential) child.

Silly selfish woman

Thats just selfish. She'll be 82-83 when the child is 10! She trying to grow her own nurse or something?

She's nuts. Why does she not just give the money to charity? Or for £30k she can become an honorary granny to my kids.
