Wouldn't lengthening the human life span solve a lot of this? Or even lengthening our span of peak performance? What if we lived to an average of 90-110 and had peak performance until 70-80 instead of living to 70-80 with peak performance until 40-50? That 10 year gap would mean a lot less.

The risk of downs syndrome and other defects goes way up. Men having children after age 35 also have some poor outcomes, but not quite as bad or likely. There sure is a lot of assumptions here too. More and more men are becoming stay at home dad's...myself included. Guess what, it impacts our career too. Possibly more so...I can't tell you the number of people that seem shocked to hear I stay home. Some literally are speechless.
