Abstract

Societal trends in the past decades have encouraged women to delay childbearing. Oocyte donation with hormone replacement therapy can sustain a pregnancy in women of all ages provided they have a uterus. The physiological changes associated with pregnancy constitute a burden on any woman regardless of her age. For mothers over 40, maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality increase with age. This article discusses the ethical aspects of pregnancy in the older woman.

摘要

过去几十年的社会趋势鼓励女性推迟生育。通过激素替代疗法进行卵子捐赠可以使所有有子宫的女性维持妊娠。与妊娠相关的生理变化对任何年龄段的女性来说都是一种负担。对于40岁以上的母亲，孕产妇和胎儿的发病率和死亡率会随着年龄的增长而增加。本文讨论了老年女性妊娠的伦理问题。
