As we know, there is no real limit to the age that men can become fathers - as opposed to women becoming mothers. Men have throughout history fathered childen at a ripe age, and that was never something to scorn, especially if the father was in good means, and health. Today also, men can easily choose to become a father - perhaps for the first time in their life, but usually having gone through a mariage or two before that - ccccc'
