> If we start to have children at 90 years old

Interesting thought. So if we simply force people to reprocreate later in life, we'll select for genes that allow for that, possibly also bringing longer lifespans in general (to protect the early offspring.)

I wonder if education, and cultural protection of teenagers has already done that to some extent.

In short, the path to immortality is to hold off children longer and longer... Hypothetically.
