South Korea may have the lowest birthrate on earth currently, with an astounding average 1.0 births per couple. 2.1 is required to maintain population. South Korea may end up in worse shape than North Korea if they continue down this road.

Now, I have NOTHING against sex robots. I just don't think they should replace procreation. It's important to have kids when possible.

Kelly I agree, and it has been on my mind lately.  We can likely create sexbots, probably some really good ones perhaps, Seven of Nine, etc (oh mercy!) 

However...  the kinds of emotions that are stirred by humans having sexual contact with humans somehow leads to the human emotions that cause people to want to bear and raise children.  The more traditional among us have a response to that notion: WELL DUH!  Of COURSE it does, ya silly goof!

OK then, very well.  I accept that, and it makes perfect sense that it would work that way.  We are hormone machines.

More women go to college now than ever before.  We think of university life as one long roll in the hay, but tain so, McGee.  Tain so.  If what I hear from my own son is anywhere near accurate, students climb in the sack together waaaaay less than they have traditionally.  They are distracted by other matters, such as actual studies.

OK then, that is (we suppose) the reason they went there to start with.

But then... the critical reproductive years come and go while the students are chasing graduate degrees.
