Blatant Double-standard!

I have as much of a problem with that as I do with a mom. The mother giving birth at that age, brings a lot of health concerns into play, you know the risks, it seems foolish to risk bringing a child into the world when the odds of downs syndrome or other birth defects are so great.
Health concerns aside, a person can die at any age, I've know 35 year olds who have died, but when parents decide to bring a child into the world, they have a responsibility to make sure they are there through out a good portion of the child's life. A male who fathers a child at age 60, 70 or later is just incredibly wrong.
