I think we all know that the best, fastest sperm wins the race to become the child whatever whatever. My question is does it actually make a difference for the kid. Would there be any difference if it was just a random one, not the first one? I’m wondering if the sperm cell being first has any correlation to the human being more functional or anything.

Well for starters, a new study shows that even though the fastest and most capable sperms reach the ovum first, it is the egg that has the final say on which sperm fertilizes it.

Secondly, the fastest sperm might not have the healthiest genes, so yeah, it would make a difference
