"Solved" as defined by developed countries with below-replacement fertility (e.g. China, U.S. , Japan etc. ) returning to replacement levels of fertility (or exceeding) due to uses of the aforementioned fertility-enhancing technologies
Examples of such technologies include:
Synthetic Gametogenesis
Artificial Wombs
Embryo Selection
Robot Nannies
Fertility Enhancing Drugs
Cloning
IVF , Freezing of Sperm & Eggs
Update 2025-05-03 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): Resolution will rely on survey data or research attempting to understand the most significant contributing factors to fertility rate changes in relevant developed countries.
A "Yes" resolution is indicated if the sum of fertility technology factors listed in the description is determined to contribute to approximately 40% or more of the return to replacement-level fertility.

3.00@nathanwei Good question. I suppose in such a situation there would be survey data / research that would attempt to understand which factors were most significant contributors.
If the sum of fertility technology factors (not just IVG) contributed to ~40% or more that would be grounds for a “Yes” resolution imo.
im open to other ideas people have as long as they’re in the spirit of the market.
@ProjectVictory Do you mean that lower birthrates are not a bad thing or do you disagree that birth rates have dropped at all?
1. I'm not entirely convinced that birth rates dropped due to biological, not social reasons.
Currently, underpopulation is not a problem worldwide.
