I am glad this subject was brought up.  I had no idea so much had
been written on this subject, so I am making a list of books to 
read.  I was wondering if there are any stories of this type
taking place on earth.

For example, a country or area on earth decided to use advance
technology to reproduce.  I have often thought of story line along
this topic.  The closer I bring the time period to the present
the more trouble the caraters get into.  Since I'm no writer,
I would like to read someone elses work.
