I mean, that's an outdated and extremely simplified and inaccurate view on the causes of menopause, one that is sometimes still repeated (like every outdated medical view), but doesn't hold up scientifically. To say it's "more complicated than that" would be putting it mildly - but to be very specific the "egg clock" idea has since been hard-demonstrated to be false - for example: Menopause reversal restores periods and produces fertile eggs - that would be 100% impossible if the egg clock idea was true, because you would be out. So it definitely isn't. It seems quite likely to me that the same treatments that keep humans so healthy they can routinely live to 120+ might well have similar effects, either intentionally or otherwise.
Re: "abortion", in very few places in the world is "morning after pill"-type stuff like I'm describing regarded as "abortion" in any meaningful sense. Even most Americans don't regard it that way (based on the last surveys I've seen - and younger people really, really didn't). It's just that the ones who do have deafeningly loud voices in the US for US-specific political reasons which don't apply in much of the world, and that certainly don't apply to a setting like Star Trek where science, reason, and compassion are centered.

Also hahahahahaha I just read about the end of Picard S2 (which I couldn't get to) and omg I am laughing because of the phrase "a small Borg cooperative", not that it's dumb idea, just a very funny one.
