Re: And human populations really ought to be rationalized. ah, but who gets to make these decisions? nobody has the right, do they. The Chinese have had a "one child" policy for a couple of decades now. No one argues against this on the basis of a moral right of the Chinese to over-populate their nation. The members of the OECD have rational birth/death rates, as indicated by youth curves. [See page 8 of this .pdf for a stunning chart of the distribution of population by age: prb.org ] The biggest problem comes in with nations with irrational fecundity rates, such as Latin America, where the results of the birth of completely useless humans results in the eventual degradation of life in countries, such as the U.S.A. that don't suffer from aggressive birthing, but still is being inexorably turned into a Third World oligarchy because of the excessive migration and the destruction of the wage scale.
