RealMuLan - "...things could happen in 40 years, you should be really careful. For example, China could, at any time, to let the market decide the birth rate." True, but given the nature of governments, any controls on birth rate might most likely be a form of tax. For example, I read today that GB is working to put in place a new road tax that will use satellite technologhy to charge drivers for each driven mile. Surely, it would not be that hard to track heat sources in each house and thereby charge a tax on each minute of coupling - tax revenues plus birth rate control - can't miss! -ng.
