We watched an interesting video in my class a few weeks ago and, as I've been thinking about it more, I wanted to share the link to the 2-hour(two episodes) production. I found it fascinating to say the least. I admittedly finished the program thinking "I need to go out and have ten kids or else mankind will die out". I don't know if that was the video's intention but I'm probably not going to suddenly fly off my seat to make as many babies as possible. At least, not quite yet. ;)

As I thought more about the program, I thought it might be interesting to find some thoughts from others on the video. I came across one that I found interesting written by Kathryn Joyce. She wasn't convinced that we're all going to die out unless we have children and found a few points in the program that she dug deeper in. If you're interested to see what she has to say, I am including the link to her article. It's a little long but it has to address two hours' worth of video.

What do you think about what the video has said? Do you agree with them about the declining population? What did you think about Joyce's article?
