Please, stop murdering your biology. It breaks my heart. We should all have 2 alleles of every gene in our DNA. One from mom, one from pop.

Down syndrome is known as Trisomy 21, becasue it is a result of the indivdual having part or all of the 21st chromosome in triplicate, not duplicate as in a typical individual. As women age, the last cell division in meiosis becomes more likely to have errors, thus we see an increased incidence of Down's babies born to older mothers. Trisomy occurs for all of our chromosomes, however for most it is a fatal mistake and the fetus dies. Men don't have this problem, because they are continually making brand spanking new sperm every day. A woman is born with the finite number of eggs that she will have for her lifetime.

LR, at what age does this begin to be an issue?

Also, you said "spanking new sperm every day." That's funny.

36 is the official age at which you get classified as "high-risk" due to your age, but that's for a wide variety of things, I don't know how the frequency of Downs lines up with that.

I had a similar experience last week, but it was 25 minutes in the "young womens'" bra section of Target. Talk about surreal...
