When the global population does decline sometime this century, it will be the first time since the Black Death, 700 years ago. But this time, it will be driven by human choice – specifically, the choice of women globally to not have so many children.
It won’t decline, when push will come all those eThICaL concerns will vanish and those in power will just force people to breed and/or work on technological solutions of making people completely in-vitro.
