No regrets about giving birth at 50
Seiko Noda, a 51-year-old Lower House lawmaker, drew wide public attention and controversy by bearing a child at age 50 through artificial insemination.
Her private life has been filled with constant travails, however, because she had enormous difficulty having a child.
At age 44 she published a book titled Watashi wa Umitai
(I Want to Give Birth
), in which she poured her heart out about her burning desire to somehow produce offspring and discussed her experience with fertility techniques.
