They can use a surrogate for delivery the baby.
You made it sound like is as easy as using a taxi services. But the reality is not always in line with hollywood reality (gay couple use surrogate and all live happily ever after etc). You know there's very strong emotional bond between the child and women who carries it under her heart for 9 months and gives birth?
You know that 'surrogate' can eventually perceive the baby as her own and can simply refuse to give it away? What about breast feeding?

Don't know how's the law in UK, but where that option is available these type of questions don't exist.

And, as Chief Ramsey mentioned, it doesn't solve the age problem.
Quote
It is a valid point, because said child is not a child because it does not exist
I see your point here, but that's a bit of moral short-cut and escaping from discussion. That's not really an answer to "should or shouldn't".
And the question still stands:
Quote
if such child is born anyway, would you be able to point a finger at it and say "it should've never been born"?

This is deviating from the point, the question of who has the right is not on the unborn child but in the woman who wants to get pregnant.

plus there are more than enough people on the planet, adoption of an already existing young human being would be the correct thing to do, it is very selfish and primitive thing to do if one's motivation is to pass their own genes.

Primitive =/= wrong

It's as primitive as eating, drinking, copulating or providing for your family.
Would you go as far as to say that every couple who decide to have their own children is "selfish" and everyone should adopt instead (until there are no orphans left)?

Maybe primitive is not the right word, perhaps primeval is more appropriate, and that's exactly what I defense, not that that should be enforce by law but as the right thing to do.

Stating the obvious is obvious but damn, this woman is gonna be in her late 70s before this kid grows up and gets out of high school - and that's assuming everything goes as planned. I have to believe the kid is going to be teased when his peers either find out about the dynamics here (grandmother had her daughter's kid  Huh) or that his so-called parents are already in their 70s when everyone else's parents are in their 30s or 40s max. Even if you go the surrogate route, most of my sentiments still apply unless the surrogate plays the roll of mother for real and not pretending that the grandparents are the parents. It'a best if this couple just retires and starts a foundation in memory of their daughter or something.

Oh how I love those ethical/philosophical debates! Just for a sake of discussion:

Is it better if such child is never born, because it won't be teased by other kids and won't be raised by elderly grandparents? Isn't living in tough conditions better than not living at all?

If you don't exist you don't exist, one is not sorrow for not existing...

This child has the right to be born if her mother wishes to. Every child has right to be born. We don't know what will this child become in the future.

The child has no rights because the child does not exist!

If you don't exist you don't exist, one is not sorrow for not existing...

The couple in question is probably in sorrow knowing that they'll die alone without passing their genes on to the next generation.

But my point was, is it a valid argument to say that certain child should not be born because it may have (very) difficult life. Consequently, if such child is born anyway, would you be able to point a finger at it and say "it should've never been born"?

Just a moral dilemma for Tuesday evening...

They can use a surrogate for delivery the baby.

i gamble

No one can win long term is a hobby not something you should be trying to make money on.
You are wrong, poker betting many people live on this.

Poker is a game of skill, it's not gambling.
Even if it's skill based it can be gambling? 60% skill 40% luck doesn't that count as gamble? And GUESSING what your opponent have on his hand that isn't that gambling?

You are not forced to play the hand.

If you think you can win a poker tournament with luck, 'gonna have a bad time'...
