Male Biological Clock Ticks, too

It is a new trend that most couples or individual (men or women) are waiting longer to have children as they would like to enjoy their young adulthood. But they should realise that their biological clock is ticking. They might face trouble getting pregnant as they age as fertility decreases with age.

It is known that late pregnancy for women could cause birth defects in their children but does men know that older men's sperms could lead to possible genetic disorder that might pass on to their child, causing birth defects. The link between older men's sperm and two genetic disorders are dwarfism and Apert syndrome which causes facial and skull deformation.

Research showed that as the risk of infertility increases in time of men's age, risk of miscarriage of his wife would also increase, regardles of her age.

Isn't it great if there is a device that tells the time left in the biological clock of an individual for future family planning of oneself? So when one knows the time they have left, they could plan their future ahead and with modern medicine where freezing of eggs and sperms is possible, couples could preserve their fertility if they would like to start their family later in life.
