    Fixated on paternal age research

    Yesterday CBS news had a piece on older fathers and more risk of autism, schizophrenia mental retardation and some types of alzheimers. What was their idea-their spin- screen children of older fathers??What no recommendation to have children at a younger age? Viacom owns CBS william grey is on both Viacoms' board and Pfizers' so lets have more customers for terrible drugs and no thought of prevention, It was disgusting.

    I have heard that autism is also caused by the many vaccinations we give children now. Another theory says the cesearean sections cause autism. I guess we will have to observe if these things have validity.

    I dont really follow your line of question. If there is a link between older fathers having Autistic children or ones with Schizo, I do not agree. Do you have more information to substantiate that?

    I doubt most men would pay much attention. We already have a huge crop of men who think making babies is their birth right regardless of age or willingness to care for them.

    I think there just needs to be more awareness in the public. Most men think they have all the time in the world to have kids so they wait then they figure a young mother will ensure a healthy baby. They don't take into account their own biology. Thanks a lot peter pan!
