Unfortunately the basic constraints on childbearing years still (basically) stand.

  When you can have children at 10 or 60 and your life expectancy is only 80 it's not really a major issue.

    Men might be able to have children at 60, but it's not so easy for women.

    There was a story on Hacker News about this a while back, but here's something I found through a quick search. Best age for childbearing remains 20-35 - Delaying risks heartbreak, say experts http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/30737.php http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/30737.php

      Yes, and I don't think it's easy for women to have children at 60 or 10, however it's still possible. Biologically it's probably optimal to have children in the 16 - 22, socially 25 - 35 is probably ideal. However, I was simply pointing out that the limits of biology are well outside the shift in optimal range we are talking about.
