neutral  Drmanu49: Is this coherent with the end of "reproductive life" which is mentioned?
47 mins
  -> You are right in the sense that "end of reproductive life" is not necessary. See my second entry in discussion above. Thank you!

agree  SJLD: yes - it's fertility not fecundity here - fecundity is the biological ability to reproduce, which is not something that is measured in population studies

disagree  Marisela Hernandez: fecundity could end in abortion and in this case is not completed
