[Vision2020] RE: Unbridled Breeding at it's finest!

[James Reynolds]

Doug,

I am sorry I don't know your last name so I cannot provide you with the 
proper title protocol.

The question I was addressing in the posting you commented on was what is 
the reason for the actual growth in the physical size of the world's 
metropolitan areas. The growth is a result of unbridled/uncontrolled 
breeding of the population. For most areas of the earth there are no 
controls placed on human breeding. It is simply a fact.

No one, to my knowledge, has a number to give you on how many people the 
earth can support. There have been attempts to model the carrying capacity 
but of course there are too many assumptions that have to be subjectively 
applied to such models so the validity of the models is suspect. These 
assumptions lie in the areas of technological advances in food production 
and the mitigation of damage to the environment that supports all  life on 
earth. No one can foretell the future technological advances.

I would never suggest eugenics as a solution to potential overpopulation. 
But yes, overpopulation as a result of unbridled breeding will be an eminent 
problem we will confront in the future.

James
