I am sorry, what? You post: " Are you some scientist or something?? I don't think you are anybody but some idiot posting on IMDb" (so, my post warrants that I would be some "scientist," yet also warrants my being some "idiot posting on IMDB" LOL). And what is this (LOL): "If anything people have become much more health conscious in the last 30 years. People are worrying about getting older much earlier and taking steps to prolong their lives and keep their health in check at much earlier times in their lives. People are working out more and eating better." Yet, go on to state: "If there is any problem [which there clearly is if you would just open the myriad of studies on child obesity and adult obesity and early onset of diabetes] it is still a problem with food, lack of exercise, and unhealthy eating, which still exists despite more promising figures. Hopefully this improves. There are still issues out there, but you can't deny it is getting better." - Pretty counterintuitive, would you not think? Lastly, If you read carefully the initial post, I am not referring to people taking "preventive steps," which are [emphasis added] essential to keeping healthy. I am speaking of our bodies biological mechanisms. For instance, you can keep healthy all you want and work out every day, but still be obese. All the preventive factors (e.g., working out, eating right, etc.) are there so why would such a person be excessively obese? Reason? - having a thyroid issue. Further, eith regard to the initial post: I was referring to our biological clocks; to which no "preventive methods" or "change of lifestyle" can keep you from. And, I was also referring to genetic factors and biological factors. Mental illnesses, social and developmental learning disabilities, even some forms of cancer and diabetes, and, as recent research illistrates, some types of criminal delinquency are passed down generationally. These at-risk factors, among others, increase with age in the conception of children. I honestly do not know how the idea can escape you (Do you think that when you visit a new doctor and they ask you for a family history of mental illnesses, substance abuse, and other health-related issues is just for fun?) – just by reading any recent extant research childbearing at-risk factors or related can tell you a great deal; that women conceiving over the age of 30 or 35 are more at-risk of their children developing health illneses or social and behavioral (criminogenic) and developmental disorders, such as dyslexia. And what is with all this "who the H**l are you and other? I guess, intellectual discourse among others - albeit under a silly movie, but enjoyable - and simple manners and respect no longer exist. In sum, just because our technologies have advanced exponentially, does not mean our bodies have. Proper diet and exercise over the years is fundamentally essential to the progress of healthier generations. However, this takes, as stated, generations in doing so and consistently. Here is another example of such differences in physical progress of the human body. African-Americans – specifically African-Americans – were subjected for many decades to extreme labors. As a result of these extreme laborers, their bodies were formed differently than that of someone, for example, that would not do any physical labor. I am speaking, of course, of muscle mass. This is why, African-Americans tend to be; due to the many decades of consistent labor and physical duress; naturally muscular. Even further, as is the case with underdeveloped countries becoming developed countries, because of their consistently unhealthy living conditions, when put in more substantially more healthy living environments, they tend to be less prone to diseases, mental health issues, and other learning disabilities, this is unlike that of caucasian Americans. I will stop here, I am not trying to write up more research or go into further detail than what is needed for a post. Perhaps those that question should read, be up-to-date and make logical inferences. The main reasoning for this thread, however, is the question of: is it less risky, in the long term for the child's mental (e.g., emotional, psychological and sociological and physical development) for a female to have a child at 19 or 25 than it is for a female of 35 or 40? Go to your local doctor, ask them, is there such thing as a "biological clock" in trying to give conceive a child?
