I wonder if this would end up changing the very fundamentals of human development, such as extending childhood, teenage years, young adult years etc. It's happened before when people had to grow up much quicker back when life expectancy was only 34 or so, unless that's a myth
edit: appears that short life expectancy thing was a myth, but my question still stands
Good question.
If I had to choose, I would stay 19 forever.
The perfect balance between sexual maturity and youthfulness.
I'm thinking more like this, childhood could be changed from ages 4 to 14, teenage years from 15 to 25 (you'd become a legal adult at 26), young adulthood from 26 to 40, then it's full on adulthood from there. I think it could help greatly to give people a little more time to develop before they're ready but it could take centuries to realize and become normal.
Good thoughts!
