I'm turning 40 next year and I'm thinking about having a baby via sperm donation. Thoughts?

@CestManan i don't really see the point of going on if i'm not going to have a family.

@CestManan Impregnate? Compliments on your imagination. That wasn't said explicitly. You concluded that. It could have been an offer to donate.
It was a catch and you fell for it. But you won't find that funny. Humor and imagination are God gifts that might or might not come as a package. 😃😃

@WandererTony One, it's harder for a single-parent adoption to get approved; two, it's expensive; three, i prefer not to involve the State in personal affairs; four, many children in the system have emotional and physical needs that a two-parent family would be better-equipped to handle (disabilities, FAS, trauma, mental illness, a history of sexual or physical abuse and the associated trauma-adapted behaviors, etc); five, this is hard for Americans to understand but a lot of cultures are not accepting of adoptions, adoptions are usually within families or a secret; six, you shouldn't do it if you're unsure or don't feel ready or equipped for the role.

@blindbob All points are very valid. Nice to talk to someone who has thought it all out in depth. Thanks for sparing the time. I had started lightheartedly, but it turned out to be an enlightening conversation.

@blindbob wrong notion. Older sperm is the one not ejaculated for long .. and it even grows moustache.. that does not mean older men produce older sperms. Ruport Murdoch, Alec Baldwin and many more have proved it.

@in10RjFox this is according to my endocrinologist who actually took the time pull up charts and stats to educate me on the numbers. just as the quality of eggs deteriorates with age so too does sperm's. this does not mean that ALL sperm or eggs will be poor quality; it just means the likelihood of having a healthy baby starts to decline. i'm not just talking about genetic mutations or disabilities, even just having a viable pregnancy. miscarriages go up dramatically.

@blindbob Like the famous quote [quote] Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration[/quote]

Sperm is just 1% and 99% is the woman .. So your age factor matters more than that of the male..

@blindbob Powerful juicy diccko

@Sharky86 no, like what's your IQ? do you have a degree? are you successful? are you tall and good-looking? are you healthy? do you have any mental health issues? do you have a clean record? any addictions?
