Is the European Union Dying?

So because we're not hitting the children quota, we will die out?
Yeah right. Those rates are constantly changing over time, and are useless. Besides, the planet is overpopulated as it is.

Europe should probably be more open to immigration.
Having a fertility rate of more than 2 is not the only solution. 
But for that, xenophobia has to be overcome.

I think the EU is very similar to the USA sadly.. The Euro currency, states divided under the same flag, I don't think anything good will come from this. We don't get to vote, the last thing we voted about was wether or not to join the Euro (if you look past the elections) which is over 10 years ago now.

I think the EU was created to have a long cancer death instead of a rapid economic collapse (which the cancer will lead to either way).

I do agree that the European Union is facing many challenges right now, but most of that can be solved.

IMO the biggest problem with the EU is that we have the Euro, but every country in the Eurozone still makes their own budget.

I hope the e.u dies. Europe should be countries that have their own sovereignty not one nation.

Pretty soon telomerase (also spelled telomerease) will be developed and the fertility rate won't matter any more because nobody will die.

More open? Europe is already pretty open to immigration. Any EU member can freely move around anywhere they want and it's not hard for people to emigrate from countries that fall outside of Europe either.
