So which is it?

Do children at 20-30 increase or decrease life span?

Obviously people who live longer may have more children, especially the men. I am talking about the other way.

The simple answer is its complicated. Having a child is stressful on the organism, but there are ultimately 2 types of stress eustress and distress.

Sometimes it's good sometimes it's bad. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
