Are you suggesting that Vicky was "the Ripper"? Ithought it was...

Some Fooking Mason!! I wouldn't be surprised...........bunch of insecure paranoid weirdos with goat issues!!

Probably why Queen Victoria killed all those prossies in Whitechapel.

It was down to Victoria's father, whoever he was. 50s I think.

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

Oh Threaded Threaded - Noooooooo

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).

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

Down's syndrome for "elderly" mothers... schizophrenia for elderly fathers...

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.

Well that's my chances of topping up my pension done for isn't it!

Generally speaking it is not the chavs that have this done. It is the middle class with a bit of cash to spend on IVF.

I would go looking somewhere else

Bean flickers seem to think it's their 'right' to concieve this way

[Flubster]

I suspect Atw and Chico's parents were very old when they were conceived...

[Ardesco]

We can make a start ( & apologies to anyone affected) by stopping IVF treatment- especially where the sperm is injected directly into the egg...

And that is why we need another War to send them all off to. Freshen up the gene pool and all that. You know it makes sense.

In the same way that he introduced the child trust fund just after he became a dad, lets see what he does now!

I belive once you are over 30 the chances of birth defects doubles, or something along those lines.

The depressing thing is that if this is ture, statistically speaking all the chavs are going to have the healthiest babies.....
