By the late-24th century Humans seem to have found a way to delay the onset of the menopause, allowing Beverly Crusher, at the time in her mid- to late-50s and therefore beyond the normal onset of the menopause, to conceive her son Jack Crusher. (PIC: "No Win Scenario"
Humans living well into their 100s is not uncommon in this timeframe, so an advance in the onset of this topic may be a natural part of the Human lifecycle. Even today, it is not completely unheard of for women of 57 to have a child. But since we don't know the circumstances, let's not speculate. –Gvsualan (talk) 20:17, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
- I agree about being careful with speculation, but I wonder if there shouldn't at least be some mention of it? Humans these days who conceive past the age of 50 primarily do so via IVF or other such medical intervention (as far as I'm aware). By contrast, we can infer that Beverly, aged 56/57, fell pregnant completely by accident. Could one not reasonably conclude that, as with the Human lifespan, Human childbearing age has also naturally lengthened? –MrLeoMorgan (talk) 12:02, 15 July 2023 (UTC)
