                   Technically, Yes. Ranma falls into the spring of 
the
drowned girl not drowned female. So one get guess or just use that is 
cursed
form will always be 16 years old. The question is will his true form 
continue
aging because if his curse? 

There is not a shred of evidence to support the claim that any effects 
of the curse changes anything other than the form, regardless of what 
Lawson thinks. It's also the easiest explanation for the curse, so, in 
the absence of any evidence, the most true explanation.

The theory that the cursed form will stay 16 forever is debunked in the 
manga, in specific the Mushroom of Years arc; Ranma's and Ryouga's 
cursed and uncursed forms suffered the same age-altering effects of the 
mushrooms.

Whether it be the properties of the curse, the power of the ki 
techniques, a question of speed, strength, endurance, etc, the good 
fanfic writer should go no further than what is directly represented in 
the manga, and, when there is no material to go by, the writer then must 
strive to conform as closely as possible to the 'spirit' of the manga -- 
that is, he must take what is in the material in the SIMPLEST, MOST 
OBVIOUS LIGHT POSSIBLE, and make a new continuity, which must not only 
not disagree with canon, but must exist as the simplest, most obvious 
and logical extension of the same.
