Children of older mothers grow up happier. They have fewer behavioral, social and emotional problems. A researcher said older mothers are more flexible and more easy-going. They do not shout at or hit their children so much. He said this means children grow up in a better world.
Older mothers worry less when pregnant. They are happier about having children. This means they are more caring. They also have good relationships, more money, and a better education. Children of older mothers have better language skills. Maybe older mothers spend more time with their children and talk to them more.
Scientists have found how to mass produce blood. The blood is good enough to give to people. The old way of making blood was very slow and expensive. It was difficult to make a lot. The new way means scientists can make a lot. They can make as much as they want. They can make “unlimited” amounts of blood.
A researcher said his team needs the technology to mass produce blood. He said it was a challenge. He said his team would make only rare types of blood at first. These are not easy to find. Not many people with rare blood types donate blood. He said: “Suitable…red blood cell donations can be difficult to [find].”
