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

I read a pretty entertaining novel where that was one of the sub-plots.

The ethical problems were fun to read about! But would be significantly less fun to live through.

It was one of Stephen Baxter's Xeelee series, I believe it was Ring.
