I'm sure the age issue was discussed thoroughly with the entire family beforehand, and I imagine that the doctors involved insisted on it.
If the story were about a man having twins at age 60 with a younger wife, it never would have seen print.

First off, yes her body, her choice. Doesn't mean it was the right choice, a good choice, etc. but yes, it was still her choice.
Although it does bring a slightly sadistic chuckle to think what a time they'll have keeping track of which twin is which if they come down with Alzheimers.
Edit: P.S. - A man at 60+ having a child with a younger wife is not as much of an issue. Same if the older woman had a younger husband. Then there is at least one parent with a lower risk of health issues to take care of the child. In this case both parents are getting on up their in years.
