Hang on - since when is there a rising birth rate in the Western World? It's gotten to the point in Australia that the government is virtually bribing people to have more kids. IVF could definately help on that count.
Who was limiting their scope to the West?

The British government is also encouraging people to have children so that there are more people to service the increasingly elderlycentric population. They don't seem to realise that they are accelerating the problem. No, that's giving them too much credit; they just don't care about it. Anything that has consequences beyond the next four years doesn't need to be addressed.

If all this procreation really does have to be encouraged, the least they could do is wait until they've sorted the education system out. That should give us a few decades without babies crying on every bus you go on. And that's when buses show up.
