Science Is Getting Us Closer To The End of Infertility

The earth doesn't have an infertility problem. The First World does. This research and solutions are a function of affluence, a market that can afford to pay for them.

The population is already here. It's just unevenly distributed.

Your comment reminds me both of a Chomsky opinion piece [1] and a Swift essay [2]. I couldn't agree with you more. The same can be said about 'food shortages' but in that case it's the other way around.

I should probably add that empathy, and perhaps the understanding of the true meaning of love is also unevenly distributed.

It would be interesting to see long terms studies of the families of IF or similar technology driven conceptions.

If Mother Nature is speaking, how wise it to ignore her?
