Asking HUGE if True’s Cleo Abram Re: Robots, Mars and Quantum

Nayeema talks to "Huge If True" host ‪@CleoAbram‬ about a world where fertility rates are plummeting and 26%-38% of people cite climate change or concern about the state of the world as a reason they're not having kids.

So: Is the future too bleak to have babies? Or do the news and a media bias toward negativity just make us feel that way? What does the next 100 years look like? Will we move to Mars? Will artificial wombs carry our babies?
