A member asked:
Will an abnormal sperm be able to fertilize and egg and will the baby be deformed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: We believe that only normal sperm are able to penetrate an ovum & result in fertilization. Thus, deformed sperm are not a cause of deformed babies. Normal sperm may contain chromosomal abnormalities which can result in abnormalities in the baby.
