This is a valid point, but if 20 year olds are now treated like children and the fertility window doesn't change, procreating becomes somewhat difficult.
In fact, isn't that what's happening in all the countries where longevity has shot up and the fertility rate plummeted?
- Filligree 13y agoSounds like a good deal to me. I'll take longer life over more children any day of the year.
- eli_gottlieb 13y agoSo you're ok with living in a society where most of the children are made by religious fanatics of the "Quiverfull" style? Because this is what tends to be the consequence when educated, wealthier, secular people can't found families in their 20s.
- Filligree 13y agoNo, I'd want to live in a world where said religious fanatics are not allowed to do that, otherwise you get evolution. I don't like evolution. I do tend to agree that we're pretty much screwed, though.
