Expert Says Women Could “Evolve” Out of Menopause in Future

Dr Prasad claimed that menopause belonged to bygone generations when women were competing for scarce resources. Hence it was not ideal to have them bearing children all the time.

"When menopause evolved, women probably died ten years before it happened, it hit in your 50s, on average," she said. "If you`re looking at a future where women are going to live to 100, that`s half your life when the rest of your body functions perfectly well and your ovaries don`t."

Dr Prasad also claimed that menopause did not bring any benefits to women especially in this age where resources are plentiful.
