How old is too old to be declawed?

We have a female cat that is 4-6 years old. The wife has decided she wants to have the cat declawed because she's scratching the new hardwood floors while walking and running around the house, not to mention scratches on the couch or chairs where she may sleep.

It was my belief you could declaw a young kitten up to a certain age and after that it wasn't advised.

Can anybody quote me some material that I can present to the better half to change her mind? She called the Vet and I was surprised to hear that they said they would declaw this cat.
