That is an unlikely result. Consistently, worldwide, when a country (and especially, its women) improves economically, fertility drops. Women in wealthier nations choose to have fewer kids. Artificial wombs aren't going to make a noticeable difference in population because too many other factors will continue to…

Um, no? AIDS meant that people had to use condoms if they were worried about AIDS. And frankly it's a good idea to use condoms with a new partner no matter what, until you're both tested and all that jazz.

Doing Science late at night keeping everyone up, probably running experiments on pets and children. Next thing you know you…

I read "the Supreme Council of Cyberspace", and this was the first thing to immediately pop into my head:

"Vlad III died in battle in 1476."
