There's no scientific evidence that I know of. I knew a man who fathered a daughter when he was in his 60s. I met her at his funeral when she was 20. Other than being a female she had no psycological problems. :o)

no just if the mother is. and the reason is that the mothers eggs are old because we have them from the day we are born but men reproduce sperm all the time.
