The President: [public broadcast] My fellow citizens! It is with a heavy heart that I bring you the findings of the Council. After deliberating for the last four months in the unceasing effort to find a solution to the devastating problem of overpopulation threatening to destroy what remains of our planet the World Federation Council has considered and rejected all half-way measures advanced by the various regional scientific bodies. We have also rejected proposals for euthanasia and mass sterilization. The World Council has nevertheless reached a unanimous decision. I quote: "Because it has been agreed by the nations of the world that the Earth can no longer sustain a continuously increasing population, as of today, first of January, we join with all other nations of the world in the following edict: Child bearing is herewith forbidden!"
