I made a comment elsewhere in the thread trying to quantify the way outcomes change with the mother's age [1]. Using the data referenced in that comment, it looks like outcomes are quite stable for the entirety of a woman's 20s and still decent into her early 30s. The real change seems to occur in the early-mid 30s. In contrast, your parent comment prioritizes women having children at age 20-25. Looking at the data I just referenced, this seems unnecessarily aggressive from a medical standpoint -- do you have a different measure of maternal outcomes in mind? (And from a non-medical standpoint, I'm skeptical that late teens/early 20s are the best time for modern humans to choose the parent of their child.)
