." Growing evidence shows that the offspring of older fathers have reduced fertility and an increased risk of birth defects, some cancers, and schizophrenia. Adverse health outcomes should be weighed up against advantages for children born to older parents, mindful that these societal advantages are likely to change over time."
To avoid the genetic damage that accrues with age in sperm how about banking some?

I find myself feeling regret for paths not followed, or fantasizing about a life different than the one I have. I have so much to be thankful for...how do I focus on what I do have and live in the moment in my one wild and precious life?

I recently broke my foot 2 weeks ago and just got a cast put on it last week (it goes all the way up to my knee). I'm on crutches so i'm still 'excercising' in that sense, but it even hurts my foot when I do things like sit ups or ab excercises. I have this cast for another 6 weeks, and I cannot afford to gain any weight! I'm not overweight, but with things like spring break - you know. Do you guys have any idea what type of excercises where I will positively NOT move my foot and still can loose weight?

The pain is kind of all over. It's in my thumb and part of my palm, in my fingers a little bit, in my wrist a lot, and even in my forearm. When I take notes in school, I have to drop my pencil every couple minutes and stretch out my wrist and hand because it hurts. And now I'm finding that when I try to support myself in pushup position, I get a weird pain right where my right hand meets my wrist.

I've never had this problem before; it's just been developing over the last few months. I write a lot during the day and also play piano, so I know I probably use that hand a lot, and maybe that's the problem and it's just tired. But I just want to know if I should be worried about it or talk to my doctor. Can you help me? Thank you so much in advance.

my parents dental insurance wont take care of me because im 20 and not in college. my parents can't afford to pay for my college education and I refuse student loans because only kids that are going to college to be doctors can pay student loans back on time with thier expected salary.

I need root canals, and like 4 crowns and recently I noticed little dark marks behind/inbetween my three front bottom teeth! like where I floss.

im so angry I wish dental insurance was free for young people like me or that my parents insurance would cover me...only my dad works and he has so many bills and can't afford to pay for my needed dentist work without insurance.

my only choice is to wait seven to eight years when my boyfriend earns his masters plus he is going to law school for 3 years till I can go to the dentist. that sucks I can only brush my teeth and floss and pray for a miracle.(I also should eliminate sugary foods and drinks for 8 years)

I easily get vaginal orgasms when I am having sex with my husband, but it seems that this is abnormal. Also, I might add that I can't have a clitoral orgasm w/ him, but if I masturbate, its vice versa.
