Should we sacrifice babies on the altar of career?

IT is now confirmed. Dorcus Inzikuru, is pregnant. The steeplechase gold medalist, popularly known as the ‘Arua gazelle’ will give birth to her first baby in a matter of months. However, as she eagerly awaits the arrival of her baby, her fans are worried that she may not continue with her career.
Well, sports doctors have so far allayed these fears, arguing that women can get a baby and still get back to the track and even perform superbly. Amidst all these concerns, the question is: Should women halt childbirth in pursuit of career? What is the right age to give birth anyway?
Dr Olive Ssentumbwe, a specialist in family planning and population at the World Heath Organisation, says the best time for a woman to give birth is between 20-35 years.
SO, Should we sacrifice babies on the altar of career?

The woman should do whatever she wants? If she wants a baby, go for it. If she wants a career, go for it. If you can only do one or the other, she should choose what is right for her. No one can tell her otherwise.
