"If someone drinks just one sip of this liquid, the person will become a slut!"
"A slut? Why would you want to turn someone into a slut?" Tom asked. Although, being a guy, he could obviously see the use. It's just that he didn't understand the doctor's motivation. Dr. Singer was all about making scientific progress. Making people horny didn't seem like something the doctor would be interested in.
"Well, the main reason is population."
"Population?" Tom asked.
"Yes. It may not be noticeable right now, but my calculations show that within the next fifty years, women will have less and less children. And with that kind of rate, the human race is on a fast track to extinction."
"Why is that? Is there some sort of genetic birth defect?"
"No, no. It's a social defect. More women are in the workplace than at home. Now, I have nothing against working women, but the balance has been utterly upset. The best way to fix the balance is this liquid. I'm not suggesting that all women drink it. Certainly not. But if we are to save the human race from extinction, then surely there must be a few sacrifices."
"I suppose," Tom said. He wasn't quite sure how to react to the doctor's explanation. He sounded a little crazy, talking about the extinction of humankind and all.
Harold placed his hand on Tom's shoulder. "Believe me. This will do wonders for the world."
