“Advancing paternal and risk of psychiatric disorders”
The full gamut of mental health issues. Schizophrenia, autism, eating disorders, bipolar, increased violence, etc.
Women are born with their full supply of oocytes, and their meiosis is halted at metaphase II until fertilization. In contrast, male germ cells are produced continuously through reproductive life. More specifically, spermatogonial cells replicate every 16th day, resulting in approximately 200 divisions by the age of 20 years and 660 divisions by the age of 40 years (15). Each time the cell divides, the replication of the genome introduces the possibility of copy-error mutations.
What could possibly go wrong after 660 cell divisions?
Nothing could go wrong. Frankly, I'd trust cells that stay fresh over eggs that just sit "on the shelf" in the ovaries for decades, gradually drying out.
I'd trust the NIH to do nothing except try to discourage men from having kids.
If Barron Trump has autism, it's more likely due to Melania being 36 at the time of her first kid's birth than it is that The Donald was 60.
... but there is a higher risk. Demonstrably so.
Just because the cell divides? Skin cells are constantly regenerating yet folks aren't catching deadly cancers from it left and right.
Human cells can only replicate a certain number of times and then they become prone to error like saving a lossy file too many times. Cells eventually either stop replacing (cell senescence, old age) or they go bonkers because of a copy error (usually cancer)
Face it dude, your sperm is sub parr. Any kids you have at this point will be schizos and retards because of genetic degradation. As opposed to kids you had earlier who just inherited it. XD
will be schizos and retards
Then they'll do great over on Wall Street Bets, especially if they get vaccinated and so gain the investing super-power of weaponized autism.
Fuck off jew
There is a natural selection process of all these millions of sperm fighting to reach the egg.
This is why old men often have perfectly healthy children. The fucked up ones don't make it. Besides you're still wanted for sperm donation up to 45yo so that says plenty
Not saying it's not factor but massively exaggerated.

“Mutation frequency declines during spermatogenesis in young mice but increases in old mice”

Unfortunately mutatations do not necessarily reduce sperm motility. Many genetic copy errors would not effect the health and function of the cell at all.
All true but fucking old fathers frequently produce super healthy offspring while 40yo plus women frequently produce mongs
