    Given that they were in their 70's I think the Darwin award does not apply. This may just be a "senior moment."

    So long as they have no offspring, I don't see why age should preclude them from entry.

      I'm going to assume they've bred, but hope they haven't.

        It may be fine for him. He is still able to breed, but she would already be out of the gene pool through the actions of the menopause.

          Thank you for that clarification, I had been wondering why there weren't more 80-year-old mothers.

              When I was a teenager, one of my friends mom got preggy the natural way. She was 63 at the time.

                            At 75/80 years of age, children are probably no longer a viable option, so Darwin is cheated once again by circumstances.
