Reporting on the tragedy of rapidly falling fertility
- If Honeybees Were Vanishing as Quickly as Human Babies, the World Would Be Panicking — The Stream, August 15
“What does it say about us as a culture that we don’t believe life is important enough to share it with our children? That we feel we need to outsource reproduction to other, poorer countries – as if it were some low-tech, grim, repetitive job no Americans are ready and willing to do.”

“Largely unnoticed, last year was a landmark one in history. For the first time in history, humans aren’t producing enough babies to sustain the population. If you’re 55 or younger, you’re likely to witness something humans haven’t seen for 60,000 years, not during wars or pandemics: a sustained decrease in the world population.”
- Americans are having fewer babies as birth rate hits historic low, CDC reveals — Fox News, August 2
“The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that the birth rate in America has dropped to an historic low, decreasing by 3% since 2022.
“Experts say this drop-off could be caused by many factors – including a heightened focus on career goals, the cost of raising children, a priority on personal liberty and mental health, the fear of an uncertain future and growing fertility concerns.”
