“So it’s official. The last Italian will be born in 2225, says the Italian publication Il Messaggero. And will die 82 years later, undoubtedly childless. The problem is, of course, the dearth of children. Birth rates in Italy have dropped well below replacement and entered the realm of extinction.”

 

“Some futurists predict a breakdown in civilization, where the animal kingdom reasserts its dominance over an empty planet.”

Keenan: “Meanwhile, liberal women … are groomed from pre-school to meticulously avoid pregnancy at all costs using a dizzying array of pills, devices, shots, inserts, implants, and various unguents to prevent implantation of a fertilized egg…. And if those don’t work, a few hours on an operating table expressing your commitment to reproductive justice will do the trick.”
