My issue is that’s so much further of a stretch than other possible approaches
Fertility is primarily a function of how many eggs the woman started with, and the interval of periods which shed an egg. Further down the rank are viable eggs remaining - if all weren't shed to begin with due to irregular periods at a faster frequency than a monthly cycle - and finally the ability to incubate without miscarriage which is the only unquantifiable part, which also involved the man’s sperm that was selected. Although since a different man can always be selected, I cant try to reframe this as an issue to include older men since its not much of an issue and younger men exist. You’re proposing to use this lowly ranked incubation aspect, all to assume some other genetics for longevity are passed on, while introducing mutations from gamete deterioration. Amusing to me, seems like too much energy to attempt this versus some other selective pressure or versus a remedy to a current generation’s mental deterioration.
