Study links older dads to healthier children

Telomeres

Finally, some good news for older dads. A new study hints that their children and even their grandchildren may get a health benefit because of their older age. It's based on research into something called telomeres - tips on the ends of chromosomes.

Senh: Also consider this: "... since older fathers also tend to pass more potentially harmful genetic mutations, it's "not at all clear" whether advanced paternal age gives an overall health benefit to children." So your child might live longer, but he might also be autistic. No, thanks.
