Hi Steve,

There's been a lot press here lately about the severe reduction in the ability to bear children after forty, with a focus on women who have put off even thinking about having children at that age. Apparently, it's been a combination of their belief that work comes first until that age, as well as their misunderstanding of the details of the cases which report women bearing children after forty (most of those women are not using their own eggs).

Not only do I agree with you that Dowd's playing fast and lose with logic (I'm not too interested in where her head is -g) but I watched the interview you refer to here:

On a "60 Minutes" report on the book Sunday, Lesley Stahl talked to two young women who go to Harvard Business School. They agreed that while they are the perfect age to start families, it was not so easy to find the right mates.

The women clearly did not say they were intersted in having children at their current age (which looked to be in their mid twenties), but that meeting men who were not intimidated by the fact that they were in Harvard business school was hard to do. Two different things entirely.
