Yeah, everyone is commenting about the literal ability to conceive in your 40's but that's not really the problem with waiting that long to have kids.

At 40 your chances of having a kid with Down Syndrome are still 1 in 90, though. It's way more than in your 30s and 20s, of course, but it's still just a 1.1% chance. Not exactly huge odds. Not to mention that they screen for that these days in older mothers so if you don't want to have a kid with that disability you don't have to.

Not to mention that kids born to older mothers (35-44) end up as healthier (http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/releases/249961.php) adults in general than those born to mothers under 25, and with no statistical difference in overall health as compared to mothers in the 25-34 age group.

I'm all for cautionary tales, but facts should definitely figure into the discussion.
