De novo mutations are genetic mutations which form during gestation (whilst the foetus is developing) that lead to genetic disorders. It is largely based on the father's age, as it has to do with the austronomical rate of which your sperm cells have multiplied. Just know women aren't the only ones on a timer, if you want to have healthy kids that is.

You're telling me that I'd be giving my children lootbox traits that might be cool the older I get? I'm going to be a spicy grandpa.

Only MGTOW retards think the age of the father doesn't matter, obviously all living beings accrue genetic damage as they age

Well, I still haven't been able to get a gf yet, so I probably will be old when I do manage to get one, if ever. I will not date a woman who's over 25.

Imagine not having the money to get your fertilized eggs gene tested and crisprd

It matters, but the difference is that the curve tapers off much more gradually for men.

Fact is, a woman in her late 30s is near the end of her childbearing years whereas a man in his late 30s is only at the start of his decline.

I don't want to have my own biological kids, I want to use fertility tech to have superbabies. if you're getting a dog it's not genetically related to you but you still care about its pedigree and that's how I feel about kids. I don't plan to have kids for quite a while so I'm happy to use a surrogate if my wife is infertile.

I don't want kids at all. More and more people, foid AND moid, just don't want kids. Stop being a trad freak and insisting on having kids. Especially biological ones. Maybe consider adopting instead
