[00:02.12]6 Each age has its future fears that turn

[00:04.72]out to be groundless.

[00:06.27]In the fifties, concerns focused on monsters

[00:08.69]and flying saucers.Ours are reproductive.

[00:12.53]For instance we worry that,come 2052,

[00:15.47]it will be increasingly normal

[00:17.54]for grannies to be giving birth,

[00:19.69]or that male pregnanacy will be possible.

[00:22.51]it's my bet that if you asked 100 women

[00:25.23]in their sixties, now or in 2052,

[00:29.04]if they wanted a test-tube baby

[00:30.95]or double-glazing,

[00:32.75]99 per cent would opt 1 for the windows.

[00:35.46]As for male pregnancy 2,

[00:37.15]I have filed it under "o"

[00:39.89]as in "only for the lunatic",

[00:41.88]along with human cloning

[00:43.65]and genetic 3 engineering.

[00:45.99]Yes, it might all be technically 4 possible,

[00:48.19]and you might well see genetic engineering

[00:50.70]for very specific and well-defined

[00:52.09]medical resons,but it will remain phenomenally

[00:56.84]risky for the baby.

[00:58.26]It's an unchangeable part of human nature

[01:00.52]that what we really want,

[01:02.15]above everything else,

[01:03.57]is the best for our future generations.

[01:04.94]
