Two quotes by Minister Mentor, Lee Kuan Yew. (The geopolitics of babies, ST Sept 2, 2005)
Demography is destiny. Governments will be forced to deal with delicate matters of personal choice hitherto considered outside the purview of the state. Can we afford to continue to treat sex, marriage and procreation as amtters in the private domain and out of bounds to government influence?
The human race is at risk because it has mastered technology but not mastering the human's natural desire to push for more of the benefits of technology without going beyond the limits.
