I've been hearing on FB and the news that having kids as an older man (biological clock) could make your kids worse off.
"Bioengineer Narendra Singh of the University of Washington in Seattle and his colleagues compared the sperm of men of different ages. Sure enough, sperm in men older than 35 had more DNA damage than that from younger men. And although unhealthy sperm are supposed to commit cell suicide, some of the sperm they looked at had lost that ability to "take one for the team"—meaning they'd be around to fertilize an egg. "This may lead to offspring with defective DNA, which may translate to mental and physical defects," Singh says."
I'm 28 now...this got me thinking about dropping some lotion over at a sperm bank to freeze these high quality swimmers. Anyone else consider this/experience with this? It's wildly expensive though (like 1k).
Time to get my fish, vegetable and exercise game back on point.
