Best Answer

by the time a woman in in her mid-thirties, the eggs she produces (and her reproductive tract in general) have been subject to 20 or so years of hormonal flux and other environmental stresses. this slightly increases the likelihood that a released egg will suffer from some sort of chromosomal damage.

When two women were arguing over a baby how did king Salem figure out whom the rightful mother was?

That is a story from the Bible about King Solomon and his wisdom. (1 Kings 3:16-28) The story is about two women who both give birth around the same time. One night one of the mother's rolls over and kills her baby by accident. Then she switches babies and pretends that it was the other mother's fault. The next morning the mothers fight over the baby and the problem is presented to the King. He suggests that they cut the baby in half so each mother can have a part of him (the baby). Then one woman cries out and says that the other woman can have the baby. King Solomon then figures that the woman who would give up the baby to save its live is the real mother and the baby is given to her.
