The Birth Derth
By John Goodman
Filed under Science and Other News on April 8, 2014

This is true in Melbourne and Moscow, São Paulo and Seoul, Tehran and Tokyo. It is not limited to the West, or to rich countries; it is happening in places as diverse as Armenia, Bhutan, El Salvador, Poland and Qatar. ( NYT)
