She can't adopt? She can't teach others who show the promise of actually HAVING talent, instead of rolling the dice and assuming that her babies will be as genius as she is?

What's with people thinking that genetics alone transfer some magical talent and beauty to children? Pretty parents can have ugly-ass children. Genius parents can have morons for children.

And yes, men can produce genetic materials until late in life, but are they going to want to raise children when they're 60 or 70 years old? And even if those children did have the genes, who's to say they'd even want to follow in their parent's footsteps? Or be able to do anything talented without being instructed and taught well?

It's never too late for anyone. I don't know why everyone is so bound up in this idea that Kathryn Bigelow can only pass her talent on by giving birth to children who come directly from her own genes, which will UNDOUBTEDLY GUARANTEE that they have EVERY SINGLE ONE OF HER TALENTS.

Or gee, has it ever occurred to anyone that KB has chosen not to have children and enjoys a life free of those particular responsibilities? Assigning this "it's too late for her tragedy" to a childfree person makes a lot of unwarranted and rude assumptions about their life choices and circumstances.

I don't think it's tragic to not have children. I've chosen not to have them myself.

The fact though is that women have a biological deadline where we have to chose whether to have (bio-)kids or not. Men don't have this deadline, which is why you can look at George Clooney and still wonder whether he will have kids or not. My 48-year old cousin will be a father for the first time in a few weeks's time, for example.
