[Mass Effect/RL] What would be the effect of a genophage geared towards humans affecting modern day Earth?

One in one thousand children survives birth.

Cloning tech would be immediately refined, manufactured, and implemented into all major countries. Because of the fact that we now grow babies literally from Test Tubes, most genetic defects can and will be screened out.

Furthermore, there would likely be a large increase in casual sex as well as a huge increase in pregnancy pills. The way the genophage works is that while the mother becomes pregnant, the baby dies in utero. Due to this, most women would not want to go through with the pains of pregnancy just to get disappointed when the baby is born dead.


Control of the population would become implemented and abortions and adoption would become unnecessary.

The cloning tech would have some very big ramifications on the military, since you can literally engineer the perfect soldiers before they are even born.

All in all, humanity would survive but there would be large decrease of the population for about twenty years before cloning tech is ready, and then a controlled population until space flight is achieved.
