But the absence removes the requirement for it, given 20 years or so.

??? Is that the time to say I don't understand what you're talking
about?

The menopause analog for men has escaped a number of grade-school-level
medical references, such as the Mayo Clinic Book [1996 version,
CD-ROM].
Do you have such an analog in mind?

Again I don't get what you're saying. Even if all men were just
vivacious in their 70+, why would anyone want his child to become an
orphan during his childhood?

What about other genetic enhancements achieved by social security
manipulations... Any thoughts?
