This means from puberty on up, which can happen as early as 11 years old or as late as 14 in most males.<\/p>\n<p>The older a male gets, however, the harder it can become to father a child. After 40, the quality of a male's sperm decreases, making it increasingly difficult for fertilization to take place, while pregnancies created through males over 40 can run the risk of miscarriages, or for babies to be born with birth defects or genetic abnormalities.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, biologically, males who are in between, say 18-35, are typically within the healthiest zone for fathering children, while also physically mature enough to do so. Obviously, beyond the pure biological aspects of procreation, a male will have to determine, just like a female, when is the best time for them to have a child.<\/p>","musingAppVersion":"1.1","musingPostType":"answer","appDepth":2,"appParentPermlink":"p3m78hll5","musingAppId":"aU2p3C3a8N","appTitle":"What age can one father a child?"}" |
