Saw a post the other day from some guy looking to donate sperm at 56 years old. What he wrote enraged me.
He said he’d donated 4 times but all but 1 ended up in miscarriages and that his son with his ex wife had autism because of "her bad genes".
Few people know but men older than 35-40 have more dna fragmentation and mutations in their sperm, causing higher risk of miscarriage, autism, lower birthweight, lower iq and higher risk of the baby having seizures, born premature or ending up in the NICU as well as higher risk of diabetes and pre eclampsia for the mother. It is just as likely his being a geriatric parent caused these issues
Several women told him this but he just wrote something like, "gee thanks for making me feel bad I’m going to have a kid anyway"
Makes me sick to think he’s probably causing these miscarriages as the women don’t know the risk factor. I’ve also had men go into rage fits when I tell them about this. Why is it always ego over other people’s welfare with these guys?
