In Edward Llewellyn's future history, a fantastic new chemical
useful as a cancer treatment, an insecticide, and birth control, 
turned out to have an unforseen side effect, which was to sterilize
girls born to women who had been exposed to it. Cue a sudden drop
in population as the birthrate dropped to just above zero, except
in communities that went out of their way to avoid mod cons.

Llewellyn might have had thalidomide in mind.

It strains belief that the side effect wasn't noticed in testing
but there's reason to think the whole thing was engineered by a 
well-meaning alien.

I probably met Llewellyn, as he was a colleague of my father's and 
taught at UWaterloo. However, I only discovered that he was UW prof
from his obit.
