Males Over 35 Less Likely to Have Children
	Even in these modern days, when the lifespan of humans surpasses an all time record, women over 40 are generally believed too old to have babies, yet somehow there is no mention of the limit age men become less fertile at.

'Perfectly' Designed Children with Three Parents Could Be Born within Three Years
	Sexual reproduction may be a lot of fun, but it’s far from being perfect when it comes to combining the genetic material of the parents, sometimes leading to incurable genetic diseases. However, genetically engineered children could literally be born perfect in a couple of years in the UK, by replacing defective DNA strands of the embryo with that from another woman, for example, generating children with three parents, two mothers and a fa ...

Female Sharks Can Reproduce without Male Contribution
	Sharks have many issues of their own in the reproductive domain, from double penis in case of males to intrauterine cannibalism. Now, another odd trait adds to their reproductive peculiarities: female sharks can give birth without fertilization. The new mix Northern Ireland-U.S. research investigated the DNA of a hammerhead shark born in 2001 in the Henry Doorly Zoo (Omaha, Nebraska). The tank in which the shark was born contai ...
