There is no could or should about Buffy aging. Your question even shows that you are living in the Whedonverse past of season 5. The fact is that Joss set it up so she could age at the end of S7. She's now the head of a corporate structure of slayers. She'll do her slayage from time to time; but that was the whole idea of the show at the end.
It was what Joss meant the whole idea of the slayer to be about. It wasn't just about Buffy, it was about liberating all the potential slayers from the control of the Watchers - the women from the men. To do that you had to give them the strength (metaphorically) to control their own lives, which also meant that they must be unified.
Buffy will age and in that have life, and perhaps give life to others. What quality does a slayer's child have? Probably just human...
