Wouldn't it make more sense - be easier - to wipe them all out? Although i'm not sure how it impacts you, at nearly 40 with no offspring why do you care? Unfortunately you'll be long gone before ever witnessing/experiencing your imagined utopia.
I assume you have no children too, do you think it would make sense to just wipe them all out?

I guess it's not really part of my nature to want mass genocide. I would prefer to be reasonable and encourage people to be sensible. If people in other countries want to have 6 children each, that is their choice, but they should deal with the consequences there. All I suggest is that there is a more intelligent way to conduct oneself.

Quite true that none of it really has any effect on me, but maybe it suggests that I intrinsically just want a better future for the earth that we live on and that we hopefully quite like and enjoy. I don't see the point in spoiling it because people cannot control themselves.
