35. I would say Yes, if it's her first.
I'm not even refering to possible genetic damage to the child, but to damage to the mother. Pregnancy is hard on a body, let alone birth, and at 40 she's not as flexible as she was a few years back. If she'd already had at least one child earlier, I'd say go for it, but if it's her first, I would caution against it.

Not too old to be a parent, though. There are plenty of kids the world over who need homes. It's her risk to take, of course, but that's my opinion.
