Tian Xin, a 67-year-old woman in Zaozhuang, Shandong Province, gave birth to her third child on October 27. Tian’s husband told media she had worked as a doctor before retiring and she began menstruating after taking Chinese traditional medicine that promotes blood circulation. Tian’s adult son and daughter disapproved of the pregnancy. The couple said the baby was a gift and said they are healthy enough to raise her alone. Most netizens, however, sided with the adult children, citing the health, emotional and other risks of having a baby late in life. For example, the child could lose their parents at an early age, and the family would be forced to take responsibility for the child, netizens said.
