ETA : And yes children can lose parents to cancer etc, that's unfortunate but nobody can predict circumstances like that. What you can predict though is that a couple in their 70's are A - Unlikely to make it through the childs childhood and B will more than likeliy struggle to look after a baby/toddler.

All valid points.
The only points I would add is these 2 people could well live into their 80s or even 90s.
There are no guarantees they won't or will admittedly.
Also we don't know how fit and well these 2 people are either,one would expect good medical checks will have been done as to both as potential Parents.
You are getting there with me however Niamh,thinking more deeply about it myself, I would not probably like to have Parents of those ages.
