Old men marrying younger women and becoming fathers when they are way past their 60's springs to mind Tom. Elton John was 65 when he had his first surrogate son and 67 when his second son was born.

True, the advantages of having Elton John as daddy are obvious
RedHeadedTaurus: My sister is 50, soon to be 51 and my brothers are close to 30 years old-ish … I'd have to ask my dad about the twins age, to be exact.

Would have been more advantageous if there had been a woman as the Mother though. Money doesn't compensate for everything in life. Just my humble opinion of course.

Guess when you get children you want to enjoy their companionship, want to be there to help them through life as long as possible. If you get children when you are old already, you have the chance that he will be on his own way to early. Of course young parents die too. But then it's unexpected. Old people expect to die soon.

So, what do you want to give your children...
What a load of clap trap, there is a poster , who posted on this thread who has many older siblings and she is as sound as a pound. What make you think people over 56 expect or want to die, believe me they don't.
