ORIGINAL: DerangedUnit I read a study a while ago that might make you feel better, I'll link to a quick google rehash. In short it states that many disorders including down syndrome and increased cancer risks are caused by the mans sperm being old.... men have a biological clock too. And actually an older woman still has completely fine eggs as ours are set and not made on demand. In most cases you can find a young stud and go ahead.... my childhood friend's mother was 56 when she had her, she had given up and it was a surprise. http://how-old-is-too-old.blogspot.com/2014/11/mutagenic-effect-of-advanced-paternal.html?m=1 That was the best I could find quickly... digging up old studies is always a pain, but something to look into if you are interested in genetics Dude that's BS, Down's is a chromosomal disorder it has nothing to do with the "age" of the sperm [8|] Why? Your premise is that the sperm is a faithful replica of half the man's DNA. The underlying assumption of the article is that, in older men, there is a greater chance of mutations occurring when the sperm is produced in his body. It's been common knowledge (at least to me) that women who are older have greater chances of producing a Down's baby. In other words, as a woman ages, there's a greater chance of mutations when eggs are produced in her body. Why not the same for men? That's precisely right, it was always common knowledge. Only recently being revisited and adding new criteria. In those old studies that determined older women have a higher risk they only measured the age of the women.... the redid the study measuring the age of the men as well (and added a larger sample size... biggest ever if if I remember correctly).... which led to a whole slew of new studies about various related diseases that were known to be affected by age. Which is one of the ones des probably saw. I don't think the above poster was being serious, what they said was the equivalent of saying "the sky is blue so sunsets are bullshit" so I figured they were just trying to get a laugh.
