RE: Having a baby after a seed implant
The problem with reading abstracts is may only learn what the author
concludes, or tries to "sell." The actual presented data may raise more
questions in the reader's mind.

Subject: Re: Having a baby after a seed implant
Bernie, Franz (you should be able to search PubMed!),
A search on "paternal age AND Down syndrome" got 117 hits. (A surprise!?)
A half dozen with paternal age results in the abstract had 5 with no effect,
and one that did, i.e,:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov:80/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list
_uids=7619937&dopt=Abstract
(Listed as U.Wisc-Madison Sch of Med :-).
NOTE: Also father's age had an effect at <20 years - hormesis?! :-)
Regards, Jim
