And also, because she's so old, she's increasing her chances by a huge margin of having a disabled child

With donated sperm and a donated egg I don't see that's going to enhance the chances of a disabled child. And young people die too. This woman could live to be 100, no one knows how much time they've got. And it seems these kids will have a large, loving, extended family whatever happens. Having an unplanned, unwanted child and raising it on benefits in substandard housing is more selfish in my eyes.
