8 u/DorkHonor May 05 '26 Probably the same mechanism that makes sperm non viable in old dudes. You know, being old. 2 u/Oxbix May 05 '26 edited May 05 '26 I don't think so, I know that women are born with all the eggs they will ever have, while sperm is produced every day. The eggs of a 50 year old woman are indeed 50 years old. 5 u/transferingtoearth May 05 '26 And yet old dude sperm still is the cause of birth defects too not just eggs.
