Stop aging at the cost of having no children - would you do it?

[Leifmk]

Men get away a little bit more with that because they can usually still have kids, if they want them*, up until the point where people start telling them, "You know you're kind of old, man." Maybe less of an issue for wealthy ones, but for working schmucks, you don't do your kids favors by dropping dead on them when they're 14.

This is how John Tyler, POTUS in the early 1840s and dead since 1862, has grandchildren who are still alive today.
