Expert Says Men Should Freeze Sperm At 18
- 9 years ago
A bioethicist in the U.K. has recently made the recommendation that all men should freeze their sperm at around 18-years old to prevent age-related mutations from harming the gene pool.
Men are waiting to have kids until later in life, which could lead to more genetic defects, according to a scientist from the U.K.
His solution: they should all freeze their sperm at age 18 when there are fewer mutations and use them when they’re ready to procreate.
Modern studies have shown that the reproductive material of older men undergoes more changes over time, and though most have little impact on the offspring, a small proportion could result in greater numbers of
