I wonder if the world's human population is now at its peak. If Sars gets a grip, that could cut 100 million people out of the total.

Russia's population has been dropping, Japan's, and Africa's [AIDS] are in trouble. Italy is well below replacement rate.

The Malthusian Population Explosion where humans take over the universe has perhaps already reached its zenith. Like the Globalstar Zenit rocket, which crashed with 12 satellites and put paid to Globalstar's chances of success as originally planned and the Biotelecosmictechdot.com sharemarket boom, which crashed in Y2K when the bug did nothing, it might be all downhill from here for human numbers [though not quality of course].

In fact, I hereby declare the population boom is over!

Now it's a quest for quality. No more Sars, no more muscular dystrophy, arthritis, genetic defects [people are NOT differently-abled because they are blind or otherwise limited]. I'd tick the extra brainpower and immune system boxes and take fries with that. Roll on genetic engineering.
