But for children of older fathers, there are well documented advantages as well:

Huh, I never figured.

I guess that's a reason to spermbank. Though really, people should just have kids young in the first place. :/

I disagree - I would have made a terrible father if I had kids in my 20s.

I mean, I might still make a terrible father, but I'm trying to imagine 23 year old me raising a child and it's terrifying.

Don’t worry too much about being a bad father - as long as you are there at least some of the time and don’t beat them and their mother then they will almost certainly turn out OK.

My experience with my own children is the effect you can have on them is very limited - this is both liberating and depressing.
