A member asked:

How old is too old for man to father a child?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

U into history ?: According to the bible, abraham (abram) fathered the child isaac at the age of 99, although this could be argued as by divine intervention.It is not unusual for men in their 60's to do so in recent history.
