    Do you think there will come a time when living is so bad that people will stop having children and all births will stop?

    I think a more pressing question is when will the OP stop.

    Doesn’t always result in babies. Take two fellas for example. Or two women.

    Read a review of this book yesterday, interesting.

    https://futurism.com/the-byte/world-population-will-fall-never-stop
    The conventional wisdom is that the global population is hurtling toward catastrophe — some project it could hit a staggering 11 billion by the year 2100.

    But a new book examines the data and comes to a radically different conclusion: instead of continuing to rise, the population will level out in about 30 years — and then start to decline, possibly forever.

    Or a burgeoning third world population that begins using contraception.

    Or some disease that reduces fertility takes over the planet?

    Oh wait, that was the plot of a film recently.

    generally birthrates increase when times are bad, as evidenced by the low birthrates in prosperous countries and extremely high birthrates in developing nations

    Plot of an excellent C4 TV show too but naming it as such is a wee spoiler

    Pretty sure gay applies to women aswell. It’s not sererated by sex of the person.
