I remember one of the special feature on the DVD were some of the films writers and analysis speaking about how they drew up the entire world and their predictions of the future. I viewed it so long ago but it's something you should watch if you haven't already.

That was such a big gripe for people in the original post for this movie. Everyone wants every detail explained to them, even though the cause of infertility doesn't matter but what's it's done to society.
