Tick tock, boys!


Turns out–gasp!–that men have biological clocks too. Shocking, I know.

When it comes to fertility and the prospect of having normal babies, it has always been assumed that men have no biological clock — that unlike women, they can have it all, at any age.
But mounting evidence is raising questions about that assumption, suggesting that as men get older, they face an increased risk of fathering children with abnormalities. Several recent studies are starting to persuade many doctors that men should not be too cavalier about postponing marriage and children.

Yeah, but let’s see how many articles come out about women putting caps on their internet dates’ age or pieces warning men that if they don’t hop to it and find a nice woman, they’re going to spend their life alone and childless. (A girl can hope, can’t she?)
