Science, Power, and Parenthood
This chapter examines the historical dynamics between scientists and political authority, particularly during the Nazi regime, and contrasts it with the modern scientific community's response to contemporary political issues like climate change.

By analyzing the interplay of scientific research, political influence, and personal choice, the chapter raises critical questions about the responsibilities of scientists and society regarding demographic trends.
