Improving the fertility of Americans (Specifically White and high IQ Asians) is not a bad idea.. Decreasing the fertility to the rest.. Well, that's on the list too.

>Since I started writing about fertility three years ago, I have heard countless stories from women struggling to conceive or undergoing in vitro fertilization, sometimes shelling out $30,000 for a single treatment with no certainty it will succeed. Or from those who made financial and personal sacrifices to freeze their eggs while young, only to discover years later, when it was too late, that just a small fraction survived thawing.
Although cultural commentary often suggests otherwise, many Gen Z women, including myself, deeply want children. We’re simply trying to navigate a world where the timelines of our bodies and the timelines of our ambitions rarely align. As a result, childbearing drifts later, and many of us feel a sharp anxiety as each year passes, widening the distance between our hopes and reality. Meanwhile, technologies to preserve and support fertility exist, but they remain prohibitively expensive and inconsistently effective.
