Like most academic/social science writing, this article seems long on
the problem and short on the solutions. I patiently read through this
lengthy article to get to the punch line, which seems to be this:

"The challenge is to maintain these convictions and yet objectively
face the root causes of problems, striving to imagine ways to resolve
them that are consistent with our values. referring to?> Population is one realm where this is not only
possible, but powerfully appealing-the success of a values-based
strategy is already evident. Leave to women, more than to anyone else,
the decision about when and how often to bear children."

That's it??? Maybe I've missed the details, but that seems a bit vague
and overly simplistic to me.

'more then anyone else'? Gee who could these others be?

'Declining' the Population has always been a huge issue, or rather just
how to do this. It always is ends up with a flirtation with euthanasia.

What IS going to happen is the rusting hyper-urbanized over-centralized
structure of 'industrialized societies' will change. This is the Biggest
Waste of Resources today. It is much more humane and actually self-
serving to move away from this old, tired, has-had-it's day structure.

As far as I know, European countries like Italy don't do a lot of
euthanasia, but their populations are declining.

Actually, urban living is far more efficient in terms of resources.

I didn't see any mention of euthanasia in the article.

Which is only possible with alot fewer people on the planet.
