It all seems very interesting, but your plans involve
simply automating procreation. Why not make it a goal?
As a population dwindles in number, the pressure to
procreate should increase. As it increases, the
pressure to procreate should decrease. Of course,
certain other factors could be included - sexual
proclivity, interracial (interspecie?) couplings, etc.
