“The number of women aged between 15 and 50 is fixed. Because the number of birth-giving machines and devices is fixed, all we can do is ask them to do their best per head … although it may not be so appropriate to call them machines.” – 2007, Hakuo Yanagisawa (The former Minister for Health, Labor and Welfare in Japan)
