i remember reading a book titled 'implosion' (auther ???) about a new 
bio-weapon:  substance x was added to the water supply in britain and 95% of 
women who drank the water became infertile.  the brits retro-engineered the 
stuff, and used it on the perpetrators, and within months only 5 % of the 
women on earth were fertile.
and there was a war on.  soldiers were dying, and the population needed to 
be maintaned...   'the future of hte nation is at stake!"

it was pretty interesting, in a 'read-once' way.
