Hate to break it to you, but younger moms have babies with problems as well.  And many over 40 have perfectly healthy children.  [/quote]

NP: The U.S. does not teach statistics to the vast majority of students, so very few people in the general population will be able to read and understand these charts for what they are actually trying to show. I guarantee that a shocking number of people will look at these charts and believe that that there is a greater than 100% chance that a baby born to an mother over 40 will have problems. The level of ignorance in this country is astounding. [/quote]
