I'd find some other way to achieve your goal.  Perhaps Arturo's suggestion
will work for you.  What you are discussion below sounds a lot like
trifling with EOF.  EOF does *not* enjoy being trifled  with.  :-)  Aging
could be handled with a nightly process that updated any people born that
day.  User definable age groups are probably best not implemented as
relationships.
