Impregnating Your Mother-In-Law
Saletan writes about a woman carrying her own grandkids:
It's IVF and surrogacy, except this time the surrogate is Grandma. Nobody in the triangle has to touch anybody else. Fertility doctors mix the eggs and sperm, then transfer the fertilized results to the uterus. In this case, the results were triplets. Grandma's 56. Imagine giving birth to triplets at 56. No, this isn't the first time a woman has carried her own grandkids. It isn't even the fourth. It isn't even the first case of triplets....Motherhood is splintering. You can have a genetic mother, a gestational mother, an adoptive mother, and God knows what else. When one of your moms is Grandma, it's even more confusing.
