I don't really think it's selfish. People live a long time these days and there is a good chance he'll be here long enough to raise his daughter. How old is his wife/girlfriend? She's probably young enough to have children and will be there for her for a long long time, are you saying since she fell in love with a 66 year old man she's shelfish for wanting a child and therefore shouldn't be able to have one? Yes, I'd be very sad if I lost my dad at the age of 20 or 25 but without him I also wouldn't be here at all. My sister-in-law is a "later-in-life" child and did lose both of her parents by the time she was around 20 but loved them very much and if you asked her I don't think she would have chosen different parents and if she hadn't been born I wouldn't have my wonderful nephew who is an awesome 11 year old boy. I don't really think it's my business when someone else chooses to have a child and I certainly don't think I have any right to judge them. I'll tell you who I have a problem with is the crack addict that's just had her 10th child born addicted to crack and will now live the rest of his/her life with physical, mental and emotional problems (I know someone who adopted a set of her twins and found out she's had a 10th child who will have the same problems as the rest of them). Those are the people we should be concerned with.

I really don't mean to offend anyone but this one hit a nerve with me (and I had my kids young).
