| Children Without Sex Is What the Future Holds |
| 2007-06-01 |
| Why would one want to give up the fun part? And what sane 80-year-old wants to be dealing with a teenager? Professor Djerassi is the man who invented the Pill, the first oral contraceptive, which triggered the sexual revolution of the 1960s, and which many would argue changed the face of society and sexual morality for ever — and not necessarily for the better. The Pill gave us sex without children. Now Djerassi has turned that concept on its head. He believes the developed world is heading towards its next cultural revolution — children without sex. "It is my own prediction that within the next 30 to 50 years in the Western world, many women, when young, will bank their eggs or ovarian tissue, have them frozen, and use them when they feel the time is right for them to have a child," he says. "It will become commonplace. "The world has changed. The days are past in which women in countries like Britain have economic dependence on their husbands and take care of the children. "The days are past when women looked after children and nothing else. Women have careers now. They are better educated, more affluent and healthier on the whole, and many are now living into their 80s. |
