I have to say I have never heard of this happening, until now.

It appears smoking greatly encourages this, along with the breakdown of general processes that normally repair DNA, overtime.

Our sperm, thankfully, never changes, but it appears a lot of other cells, can.

Yikes!

Sperm does change but not much. Not as much. Sperm is always being created so its fresh new cells all the time.

Keeping testosterone up can prevent a lot of problems as you age.

Wow - all of this is completely new information to me.

Men have the Y chromosome in every cell, right?

And, they just disappear?

Probably good news if you want to become a transsexual after age 70.

>> The finding may help explain why men die, on average, several years younger than women.

Huh? I thought men died earlier than their wives because they WANTED to.

j/k wifey, if you’re reading this! :-)

Old Joke:
Q: Why do men usually die before their wives?
A: Because they want to.

How can you lose a chromosome?

[lee martell]

I used to hear that the average woman ‘lived longer’ than the average man because women have high levels of estrogen, whereas, the testosterone levels that make men male also tend to wear out certain organs faster; i.e. the heart.
Maybe that was just an Old Wive’s Tale.

....has been approved by the federal Food and Drug Administration....

That closes the deal. I'm out to get myself some of that magic right now...

[higgmeister]

This is so much bull.   There is no way a gene pair can be changed.   Or the statement needs to be clarified if it is not what it sounds like.

what a load of crap!

excuse me, i have to adjust my makeup

btw Y is reality for those confused

[FarCenter]

Apparently the bone marrow cells that create new blood cells lose the Y chromosome, so some percentage of blood cell in turn lack the Y.

Win the war, make the babies, move the furniture, repeat...
Life depends on the y-chrom.
If you don’t have one, get the jab.

[z3n]

Losing your Y chromasome? Whaaa?

[Houserino]

How does this affect trannies though.

I had my Y chromosome out playing with it last week.

Now I can’t find it.

[Vaduz]

At 70 who cares your not using them anyway.

[Libloather]

One way to get some extra? I'm sure there are a few things that can be picked up in the pool.

WTH?!
