Noor Siddiqui founded Orchid so people could “have healthy babies.” Now she’s using the company’s gene technology on herself—and talking about it for the first time.

      You mean, the rest of the Asia has gone below even further? Also, birthrate isn’t the only factor, and birthrate of Japan is highest among developed Asian countries, it’s not highest overall

        You’re right, I was thinking east Asia when I said “Asia” and should have been clearer, and it’s more that Japan’s has fallen the slowest

        It’s less “Japan’s got higher” than “Japan’s fell the slowest compared to other Asian countries”

          Yeah, mostly because they’ve got no more births to reduce lol. Keep in mind these are the worst countries in Asia, though. There’s still plenty that have decent birth rates (for now)

            Yea I mentioned in another comment I should have clarified “east Asia” in the original comment. The rest of the southern and western asian continent have much higher birthrates.
