Is 83 too old to become a father?

A father of two and grandfather of three in Argentina has become a father for the third time at the ripe old age of 83! Alberto Cormillot's first wife died in 2017 and he has since remarried. His new wife Estefania is 35-years-old and just recently gave birth to their first son

“I’m aware that life is not infinite. That little guy’s here and I’m going to accompany him until a certain moment." said Dr Cormillot

“Until that happens I plan to enjoy every day to the fullest and make plans that are more short-term, which means I enjoy every day as fully as I can.” he said.

Is 83 too old to be a father of a new born baby? Is it selfish?

YES!  Unless you have money to burn and can provide for the future needs of that child. Irresponsible old git!

LOL git?  a bit late to sow his wild oats, ain't it!

I wonder what the child would say.

He would say: 

Papa...why can't you play football with me!

Not for others to judge.

Dave R,

I agree with you.  It is nobody's business .

People are so quick to judge others.  It really is appalling.

 

 

Yeah sure, Noah was 676 years old when he supposedly built an ark. Also, he supposed to live to be 900 odd years old. And they reckon Nadia is fantasy. As for the question at hand, I find it absolutely disgusting and disgraceful that a person of that age would father a child. If you wish to sire a creature with a foot growing out of its head or some other more realistic medical conditions, this is a good way to start. Also the mother who gave birth to this child, by an 83 year old man must be some kind of absolute bogan. Imagine any woman aged in her 30s banging an 83 year old man, she must have very high morals. Ich, yuk, vomit, immediately come to mind. Not to mention the welfare of the child, which is the all important thing. Jacka 

 

I wouldn't want a father myself to be that old.

The poor child.

He sounds totally self centred.

Celia,

Would you rather not be born than have a father that age?

 

 

 

I would not like to be born to a father that age correct Axel.

Especially in this day and age when the planet has been made a total and utter mess.

A father needs to act as a father not just fertilize a woman that doesn't make him a father in my way of thinking.

A father needs to be able to get up and out and be active to support their children.

This is another reason I don't like men and women being parents when they cannot support their breeding.  One has to be able to afford the children you bring into the world.  Look at all the poor countries that breed like rabbits and cannot afford to care for them, that is very very very wrong in my book.

It is very easy for a male to fertilize a female, but a different kettle of fish to be a responsible father.

 

Seems to be more about dad's ego than newborn son's welfare to me.

Alberto Cormillot and his wife had fertility treatment to conceive this child.

Dr Cormillot is worth over $1 million.

There is much information about him online.

Perhaps it's a grudge baby. Somebody had it in for him.

A "grudge" baby.  What is that?

 

Would those of you who condemn Dr Cormillot, also condemn combatants who fight in war zones and have children?

Again there are women who have their terminally ill spouses sperm frozen.

I find it appalling that so many come out of the wood-work to condemn others ... especially when it is none of their business.

I also find it strange that someone who purports to be a lawyer is leading the charge. Again law is a very broad church ... so 

 

Just putting you in the picture. Having a law degree doesn't make you able to practice as a solicitor or barrister, nor would you call yourself a lawyer.

 

 

Suze,  thank you for that lovely photograph ... What a beautiful baby.

Obviously adored!

 

 

 

I adore the baby too! Shame his Papa can't play football (Argentina's national sport) with him when he is older.

I agree with you Sophie.

Hopefully  his step siblings will be able to step up.  I believe he has an extended family.

That's a cute kid, looks like me when I was a tot.

The dad is a highly respected doctor of nutrition in Argentina and I was reading Soph, he has already got a teacher for Emilio to teach him Chinese as in his words that is the language of the future, lol.

I still say, he is too old, but to each his own and Axel, these days with inflation at 58% and rising in Argentina, a million bucks takes you nowhere.

Brave man, personally I prefer to go fishing rather than change nappies at my age!

Image result for animation laughing  Very sensible Banjo!

Of course  he 's really too old but its all about the woman, she's 35 wants a kid so she gets one, and will end up being a single parent in due course . ho hum!

With the divorce rates, there are many single mothers ... and not all divorces are amicable, leaving families broken and children suffering.

Oh, for an ideal world ...

 

 

 

I realise that this is not the same as a man becoming a father at 83 years, but the oldest woman in Australia to successfully receive IVF  treatment and becoming a mother was 66 years.
