#1 "It’s a show about empowering a woman who can pursue a decision to have a child to help complete a lifelong dream"

#2 Where was quite a few of these 'turkey-baster" kids in Grom Jr's former school - IMO, most of them started showing signs of future problems by forth grade.

#3 ...most of them started showing signs of future problems by forth grade.

The traditional method puts very high selection pressure on the sperm involved, so that only the best make it to the egg. Y sperms are sprinters, so will are more likely to get to the egg first if it is later in the cycle and descended into the uterus, while X sperms are marathoners, and are more likely to get to the egg earlier in the cycle while it is still wandering down the fallopian tube. The turkey baster method puts no pressure on the sperm, increasing the probability that it will be a poorer quality one that wins.

Separately, conceiving after the woman has reached thirty increases the chance of mutations, and after forty significantly so -- the probability of Down Syndrome increasing to 1:200 is only the most well known; the total known risk of genetic abnormalities in women 40+ being 1:38, and for 45+ it is 1:12.
