[BrilloPad]

There was some prick on this forum(I know, we're spoiled for choice) who was wittering on about the population heading towards 11Billion and the Earth could sustain this - your thoughts?

I hope I am dead long before that! God its going to be boring life.....

Something I noticed when I took time out to travel around the world a couple of decades ago was that there is this quizzical thing where the vilest people seem to be obsessed with replicating themselves at any cost whereas the loveliest people seem without hope for the planet and have given up on family life.

Planet doesn't need more people, it needs more good people.

Would be interesting to see how "good" is defined.

Cheers for the link! I knew there was a BBC article on this and with your help I found this: -

Anti-natalists: The people who want you to stop having babies - BBC News

I am not sure entirely stopping reproduction is good. How about one baby each? Its relatively easy for women undergoing a C-section to be sterilized and men can be forced to have a vasectomy. Of course, there would be several complications.....

Most babies aren't born by C-section.

I did say there were complications!

Another is knowing who the father is.

There was a time when people had the confidence to be able to define that. We have become so mired in equivocation that we can't tell good from evil.
