This is interesting, and I tend to agree with the argument of Dr Starck.
A balance between the pro-s and con-s for the child -bearing age is best; not too young, not too old. I believe, given biological, medical and socioeconomic factors, up to thirty seven years -a -woman's age, is a good estimate. Of course, getting pregnant the "natural way" poses the least risk as to fetal health issues, and-equally important, social issues.
The fact nowadays, that women have to pursue their own para marital ambitions, will skew the child- bearing age; delayed pregnancy, delayed marriage, and even delay and reduction of the chance of meeting the right partner- in which case a woman would move to alternatives, of donors, which is even more difficult( and perhaps a taboo) in more conservative societies !! No doubt, moreover, medical technology- advance paved the way for shifting to a delayed pregnancy age.
Given all that, it remains the woman's decision, depending on her priorities, which entails allowing the woman to be well informed about all factors that determine her decision, some of those perhaps not well forecast by her own thinking- thus perhaps needing extrinsic advice from experienced people.
