alt Hacker Newsassuming this is true, perhaps it's best to freeze sperm regularly with labels that way if you go off the deep end you can snapshot quite literally your best self? some possible times - right before college, right after college, after you meet someone you think you'd marry (but before you do), after marriage.
seems like a neat premise for a sci fi novella.

That'd be a great basis for a controlled experiment.
I think trying to "tune" your kids in any way is asking to be disappointed. My three kids could not be more different and they all have the same mother, grew up in the same house, etc.
If "microRNA" profiles have any influence, I would wager it's very small.
> if you go off the deep end you can snapshot quite literally your best self
Or your worst, since the article also suggests that bad habits can be epigenetically useful to the offspring.
I would hold off reaching any conclusions from this clickbait.
Without the sci-fi, if you take people with 10 to 12 kids, you have great accidental, natural, objective experiments here.
You can study those kids and compare them to the reported lifestyle of the parents at the time before their conception.
If my quicksave/quickload savescumming is to be observed, I’d be pining for that sperm from before I told the waitress “you too” wrt to her telling me to enjoy my meal.
Makes me wonder if that's some of the influence that different siblings get? The first born gets more ambition, the middle child chills, and the baby acts like a boomer.
jk.
Honestly, sounds like a great read!
<thinks about activities during college> ehhhh I think before college would be highly preferable lol.
Though I've never had nor wanted kids in the first place anyway.
