Empty Hope Of Stem Cell Science

Alicia, I have one correction to your article. You note that the native population is dwindling in Europe but that we are growing. I disagree. Our growth is almost totally attributable to the 35 million foreign-born immigrants ( 1 in 8 Americans) who have chosen the US as their new home. The US non-Hispanic white fertility rate is in the range of 1.6 to 1.7, higher than Europe but still significantly less than replacement level. There are 1 million less young white women in their 20s alive today than those in their 50s. Our culture is experiencing the same slow death as Europe.
