If all the guys looked like Wentworth Miller and the Winchester boys of Supernatural, do you think birth rates would increase and the problem of ageing societies would be solved?

Ageing societies: drop in birth rates, and more elderly than young people. So by increasing birth rates, young people > elderly tada

The world can not support over population. The opposite should be happening.
The governments of this western society of ours are too stupid to have thought ahead for the future...they are civil servants and all only out to line their pockets. The problem is that they created this problem of the baby boomers...so they could collect money to pay for the war. But then there wasn't enough business to support the overpopulation and therefore this current generation doesn't have enough jobs out there for the workforce to pay for the retirement and caring of the elderly--and that's no fault of the elderly...they have paid their dues and put in retirement money into pensions which they are entitled to but will probably never even see because government has mismanaged and spent it all.
They've mismanaged healthcare too so now, all the hard working people who built this country and fought for it too, will have nothing in their retirement, and will be treated as poorly as a lot of veterans are...once you've outlived your usefulness, you're garbage. That's sadly the way it is.
You watch, they've already taken away mandatory retirement at 65...before long they will raise the age where you can collect a pension, likely to 70 or higher.
If you young people have any brains at all you will put away money every week for your retirement. It will be here sooner than you can possibly imagine.

Um, you know, there's a popular expression ... It goes like this: "Why is youth wasted on the young?"
I don't mean that as a condemnation of young people, but this sounds too much like an idea that Hitler would devise.
I could think of more to say, but to be frank, your ID doesn't even encourage me to think you're a serious person. So, that's all you get ... which may be more than you deserve. Have a good day ... and get a nicer ID; you'll get further with it.
P.S.: Yes, I did wake up on the wrong side of the bed.

Aging and the program supernatural, I can't find the link. The only cure for aging is death. Yet, ex cerise and eating in a better way can slow it down and you will look and feel better. To stop it no. I don't think so.

You really should do an op-ed piece for the Times.

Sounds like wishful dreaming on your part.

How would there be less old people by making more babies? I don't follow your logic.
