Member Rating:  
This provocative sci-fi outing is set in an over-populated, horribly polluted 21st century where child-bearing has become illegal. To help ease the tension and stress caused by not procreating, married couples use robot dolls to substitute for children. One couple decides to break the law and have a real baby in secret. Unfortunately, their neighbors find out and demand that the couple share the baby with them. The other couple does so, but finds that the neighbors get too attached to the infant. They stop sharing their child, and the neighbors becomes so angry that they report them to authorities. The couple and their baby are arrested and sentenced to death. Fortunately, the clever husband anticipated this and made a few plans in advance. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

I think this is a good example of what happens when we become an overpopulated planet. If the government really wanted to control the population growth they would have required sterilization, instead of relying on women to use abortion machines. Not a good movie, except for the fact it may may you think about where we might be headed as a society.
