After age 40, 34% of pregnancies will end in miscarriage. For women 45 and older, this number rises to 53%. An older woman is also more likely to possess eggs with chromosomal defects that can cause genetic diseases such as Down Syndrome.
Down Syndrome “at 30 the chance becomes a one in 1,000. Then at 35, the chance of having a baby with Down syndrome jumps to 1 in 400, and then to one in 100 by 40. By the time the woman is 49, the chance of having a baby with and extra 21st chromosome is one in 10.”
But hey, why does biology matter? Women can do anything they want! They have super powers.
No, they have choice.
So...if it's only about having a choice, why get upset when other people point out clearly demonstrated outcomes of certain choices? Why get angry about it? Knowledge is power...right?
Hey Stef, you made me want to have children with one sentence in one of your podcasts, it was something like “you will be extremely lonely and bored the second half of your life if you choose to not have children.”
It's almost as if nature is trying to tell them something...
I knew the chances increased but WOW!
It could be worse. There's a 50% chance they will give birth to a leftist.
Those chances seem quite small to me
How about for guys?
My wifes about 30. If we get a DS kid, well just reroll. Its not like making the baby is a bad time.https://twitter.com/StefanMolyneux/status/1156785145808150531?s=19 …
The question is, if it is even possible after 40.
What do women over the age of 30 do if they haven’t met the right man yet? Do we become single mothers by choice?
It s not that easy to become a believer . I would love to cling over a religion to cope with how much disgusting life is but I just can't
Non è così difficile in realtà. Non è nemmeno necessario credere in Dio per avere un'idea estremamente più rosea del mondo. Si tratta di trovare l'approccio giusto, e purtroppo la falsa idea secondo cui la religiosità si riduce al binomio teismo/ateismo è un enorme ostacolo.
The first Downs Syndrome child I knew was born when his mother was 16.
Having a child with Down Syndrome is not a death sentence. Occasionally it happens to young women too.
