Heh. Go for it. I only know 2 peeps who did it, but it's not something people advertise.

Would be interesting to correlate it with maternal specialty choice.

While risk of nondisjunction type issues increase with maternity age, probably the bigger risk is with paternal age and the steady increase of mutations (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22914163). So really we should be freezing sperm. Personally I would have done it myself a couple years ago (i.e. when this paper came out 😛) if I had the financial resources to do so, as well as put in some safeguards against them using the wrong sample.
