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. Joland
