Why did Carl Sagan have a child at age 56?

[Anonymous]

He then died less than six years later. He already had health issues in his early fifties so I don’t know why he and his wife (then 41) thought it would be a good idea to have another baby

Because he could!
Jerry Lewis had one when he was 63!!

But it's irresponsible

Why?

[Asker]

He died five years later

[FunkyMonkee]

So? I've know people whose father died a lot younger than that before they were born.

[Asker]

but then the child has to grow up without his father

[FunkyMonkee]

That's life!

Lots of people do, and no one knows when we'll die. I've known people who had kids at 20 and died at 25, kids grow up without a parent.

Why does it matter? Because it doesn't.
