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.

Hides long list of ethical problems with the concept

If we're ignoring ethics, then we don't need late-life reproduction.

Just kill all offspring if one of the parents die of some unwanted cause.

Allows people to still get kids in the optimal age, yet applying old-age selection pressure.
