It is 12 noon on 27th May 2012.
What would a world that comprised of only women as the homosapien species? Which of the existing industries will become extinct (the valentine day card industry?) and what new industries will be spawned? How will the healthcare and skincare industry be impacted? How will religious institutions adapt and evolve? Will the world be a much better, environmentally-more-responsible, more democratic and more inclusive (or more autocratic? More exclusive) place than it is today?
These are some questions that we all need to seriously ask ourselves, because, as was recently reported, we are very close (probably in the next 20 years) to the goal of “virgin-reproductions” – a reproductive process wherein two ovarian cells can be fused to create an embryo which is transferred to the uterus for producing a girl child. Innovations in reproductive technologies are making this a reality, so it may be time that we also seriously thought of innovations in sociological systems to prepare ourselves for such an eventuality and ensure that what may be lost in terms diversity is compensated in terms of a more wiser society.
I leave you to ponder on what these innovations need to be and wish you a great weekend and a greater week ahead.
