here is not risk for the male- he makes new sperm all the time it gets riskier for the woman the older she gets- the eggs she has is the eggs she developed as she was growing up- she wont make any "new" eggs- in other words? they get stale

Not at all. But, there is an elevated chance of Downs Syndrome in babies born to women 35 and older. So, your doctor will keep an eye on you and things will probably be fine.

There is no high risk age for men. There is a higher risk for women 35+, that doesn't mean it's 'risky', it's just statistics. My mum had me at 38, and my brother at 45. We are perfectly healthy.

No problem on your end. Men can sire healthy children until the day they die. BOOYAH!!!! You wife on the other hand may be a problem. Talk to a doctor and seriously consider adoption. Ther are some healthy kids out there who need families so there is no need to create unhealthy ones.
