Giving birth may be what Iliescu wanted to do, and she may well be a very determined person of great piety, but the doctor did something highly unethical when he helped her become pregnant: Iliescu is too old to be having a baby.
Iliescu needed a doctor’s assistance because she is no longer able to produce healthy eggs of her own.
But, while Iliescu did indeed give birth to a baby, all the doctor did was allow her to become pregnant, not to have her own genetic child.

Adriana Iliescu is a retired history professor and author of children's books who had sought hormonal treatments for nine years, attempting to delay the onset of menopause.
Iliescu's unmarried state and the use of IVF technology aside, we are still left with the reality that a 66- (about to turn 67-) year-old woman has now given birth to a baby she may never have the opportunity to raise.
Iliescu will be able to teach her daughter to ride a bicycle, take her to ballet lessons, see her graduate from high school, and help her reach full adulthood.

 Chloe - muller
Even if Adriana lives to ripe old age, her baby will be orphaned too young and there is no father to redress the loss … I admit that (when) we say a 66 year old mother is too old but pat a 66 year old father on the back we’re being sexist, and that’s wrong.
When Adriana’s doctor Bogdan Marinescu was asked why he let a woman of 66 become pregnant, he replied: "She was in the right condition to carry a pregnancy”, adding that “medically speaking she is a success”.
While the debates around reproductive technology are complex, provocative and multiple, Iliescu’s IVF treatment over a period of nine years offered an emancipatory alliance between her body and medical technology, enabling a sense of ownership of the reproductive body and of agency as woman and mother.
