Comment your questions for Dr Morland below.

Given that all attempts to kick start birthdays (eg China, Japan, Hungary) have failed after short-term blips, what can we do (without immigration) to manage our demographic bomb of increasing NHS costs and retirement costs on a dwindling tax-paying population?
