Fair enough, though has there been any real reason why, rather than just 
the bodies of Gwen's twins aging, their mental faculties and 
level of experience is any different?  While JMS was defending the rapid 
aging, he pointed to progeria as an example of it happening in the real 
world.  If Spidey does wind up doing something with Gwen's daughter, and 
that it's okay, is the argument then 'it's okay to hit on kids with 
progeria, because they're older than their chronological age?' ;)

Just jumping in here to note that I never saw that cover, and don't approve of
it.  I passed on the info to Samm (who also had not seen it) and it doesn't
reflect at all what is in her story.  Just FYI.
