Fantastic, if this really translates into human ovaries it will greatly expand the viability of otherwise unfertile couples, and together with better health care and fertility drugs we can tremendously increase the "threatened" human population. We'll finally be able to overrun every other species on the planet, including ants and bacteria. Yay humanity! </s>

Your shitty sarcasm is a poor substitute for actually engaging with the context of the article or the science. It's sort of like objecting to medical research for the same reason.

It's just that the countries and peoples that are decadent enough to buy into something like this are all so behind on the replacement rate anyway that printing false ovaries for every barren woman won't be enough to turn it around.

Meanwhile us third-worlders will be breeding like bunnies with or without plastic ovaries.

Yes, only infertility stops humans from unbounded exponential population growth. All other factors are irrelevant.

A technological organic reproduction replacement in a world overrun with carcinogen-induced infertility combined with ever-longer lifespans? I'd accept that Timelord headcanon.
