We like to think that, but I think it is overstated. Do remember that what most of us consider "modern" healthcare isn't available to large swaths of our species even yet, and that it has only been around for a short period of time. Lots of folks still die before reproducing.

True. But it still feels strange. I guess it's also a valid interpretation that the superior society (like the western world) reproduces better. Concerning that we Germans are quite not superior. Our growth is a near-zero negative afaik.

One can only hope.

Or at least the life expectancy of PC's in modern/post-apocalyptic campaigns...
