62-year old Aleta St. James gave birth to twins as a result of donated egg and sperm - and is raising the children as a single mother. David Keefe, MD, an OBGYN chair at NYU Langone Medical Center and a trained psychiatrist, says the health risks are so low, old mothers shouldn't be deterred. His own mother was in her 40s when he was born. "Maturity is a real asset in motherhood," he said. "These are women who really want this. They have the money, the time, and most importantly the love."
