"The growth in the population of the UK is mainly due to net natural change (more births than deaths). Natural change accounted for over 80 per cent of the total population change between 1981 and 2001. The rest of the population change is due to other changes. Although the main component of these other changes is net civilian migration, this is not the only component. "

I would like to see adoption become alot more popular generally, and a good place to start would be to open the way for more same-sex couples to adopt.
There's an argument that reproduction is something of a basic human right though, and therefore witholding the treatment might constitute a breach of said rights. Plus, it could stave off depression and other psychological trauma for the couple involved.
Anyway, what do I know. Fuck it.
