The father was a sperm donor so wouldn't have any responsibility anyway. She isn't even the biological mother. This was IVF by donor of both egg and sperm - it's not as if she has even given birth to a child connected to her bloodline if you know what I mean. I doubt she would have been permitted to adopt one of the numerous orphans in her country and yet all she is now doing is adding to the burden in the future.
Selfish doesn't even begin to describe her. I hope the medical profession will be keeping an eye on how she copes, for the sake of the child. It's bad enough those sleepless nights etc when you are younger but at her age I just can't image how she will manage.
