Ted,

I apologized for that comment

good to hear

But isn't there some degradation of the sperm as a male ages? I think that's what I read a while back.

Yes, there was a news study on this recently, probably within last 2 months. But I have not heard it (the degradation) was in any way related to Down Syndrome. It is purely related to the age of the mother.

BTW, I found the graph on Wiki showing the relation of mother's age and incidence of DS:
