      There was an article in New Scientist the other week. 21st October 2006 issue.

      Cutoff age for sperm donation is 40...

      "The children of older dads are also more likely to have chromosomal disorders... Older men are more likely to father children with autism, epilepsy, or schizophrenia. A man of 40 has the same risk of having a child with schizophrenia as a woman of 40 has of having a down's syndrome child"...

      etc.

      etc.
      They recon hæmophilia in the European royal families is down to King what's-his-name fathering kids in his forties.

        Random mutation, Y chromosome does not mask, males only, lethal gene in females so they can only be carriers.

          Yes, and is why some people think Queen Victorias dad (King what's-is-name), was someone other than who is was supposed to be (Kent).

            A haemophiliac lived into his 50's? Unlikely. Victoria must have inherited the gene from her mother (or spontaneous mutation)

              Probably why Queen Victoria killed all those prossies in Whitechapel.
