Issues like these reflects an evolutionary blind spot: selective pressure drops off after reproductive age, allowing defects like prostate dysfunction to persist. It's the same reason late-onset neurological diseases remain prevalent.

Hmm. If we engineer late-life reproduction, that might create evolutionary pressure for healthy old age.

We missed the boat for that a few million years ago. If we're engineering anyway, we might as well engineer for healthy old age directly.
