Children of older fathers have greater risk of early death
Men, listen up. No longer can you comfort yourselves with the notion that you can father a child at any time...
Children of older fathers more 'likely to die early':
LONDON: When it comes to fertility and the prospect of having babies, it has always been assumed that men have no biological clock — unlike women, they can father a child late in their life. But a study has dispelled this myth.
Researchers in Europe have found that children are almost twice as likely to die before adulthood if they have a father over the age of 45 years, a key finding they claim is linked to the declining quality of sperm as men age.
Scientists reveal dangers of older fathers
Scientists believe that children of older fathers are more likely to suffer particular congenital defects as well as autism, schizophrenia and epilepsy. The study was the first of its kind of such magnitude in the West, and researchers believe the findings are linked to the declining quality of sperm as men age.
No more waiting and waiting, assuming that at age 43, you can marry a 28-year-old hottie who will bear you many strong sons.
No more cult of perpetual youth (as was so evident in my erstwhile town of Los Angeles).
Western civilization is facing a serious demographic crisis. For the Love of crumbcake, be fruitful and multiply!
My wife and are are half-guilty of this ourselves. We met in our late 30s, and we've managed one child. Unfortunately, certain circumstances have made it so that we can't have any more. This means we failed in our responsibility to replace ourselves.
Don't make our mistake. Make babies now!
Yeah, right!
***declining quality of sperm as men age***
DOCTOR: Ummm... Are you planning to start a family?
KRAMER: Yes! I would like to very much!... Well, I’m low, aren’t I? I ca—I can feel it!...
DOCTOR: Yes, I’m afraid you’re a little low.
KRAMER: Ohhh, maaan!! It’s over! The Kramer name is finished! I’m never goin’ to procreate—
I think they go stale after a while. How in the world can they grow new healthy sperm when they can’t grow hair?
My father was fifty when I, his only child was born. Sadly, he died nine years later, but I’m still here.
“but with your good wishes, I will just keep trying.”

Iam 64 and my wife is 56, I try every chance I get 80)
They can’t go stale, they are cycled out of your system with or without any action on your part. Hair? Are you kidding? I was balding in my 20s and had three healthy kids and I know others who were completely bald in their 20s who had 4 or more healthy kids. Maybe if you are bald below the waist, but then that indicates a hormonal problem, not an age problem.
The Eugenicists never tire of promoting an improved biological product. Those mothers over 35 and those under 19 have been severely discouraged (NOT) so they turn to the fathers.
the fembots would love to clone to alleviate a need for men
they hate us because they can’t be us
