The world’s total fertility rate -- the number of children the average woman will bear over her lifetime -
- has dropped to 2.6 today from 4.9 in 1960. Half of the people in the world live in countries where the
fertility rate is below what demographers reckon is the replacement level of 2.1, and are thus in shrinking societies.
SO...........
The coming biological revolution may change civilization more profoundly than did the industrial or
information revolutions.The world has not come to grips with the implications of writing genetic code to
create new lifeforms or have they?
