[quote=Anonymous]While I think all married couples should have children sooner than later, the NYT once again shames itself. It claims men cause half of infertility. It cites a BBC article, which cites a Nature article. The nature article cites a study that nowhere says half of infertility is caused by men. Instead, the study hypothesizes that de novo mutations, which are new genetic mutations not inherited from parents, contribute significantly to the genetic causes of male infertility. While I agree evidence suggests there are problems with old sperm, old sperm is far more reproductive that old eggs and ovaries. Women have a clock that men do not, and passing around articles that invent scientific-sounding claims to make us feel better isn't going to help women in need. [/quote]
