Props for the honesty

Wanting children in your 60s is selfish. Not only do you put them at much higher risk for birth defects, but you likely won't be around for most of their life

Things you can say on the internet but probably not to their face.

true but it is also true that the older the man the more likely it is he produces children with birth defects or genetic conditions

this has been historically blamed on women and it is now coming to light that old sperm isn't good

If you want kids at that age, the solution is simple: adopt. Adopting is just a good idea in general, though. There are already too many people. There's no good reason to make more.
