Clearly, population problems comprise the chief thorn. The only two solutions to over-population have ever been one or both of these two: (1) Birth Control. (2) Death control.

Death control is often imposed terribly by nature, in ruthless forms such as famine–which we should remember means individual human beings, much like ourselves and those we love, dying of starvation–and diseases of various kinds and degrees of lethal cruelty.

The hideous means by which certain cruel humans have employed death control on their fellow people are too well known for me to need to scar my post with any such descriptions.

Birth control is the intelligent and humane way. We need more birth control already. Once life extension gets into full swing, it will become imperative, or else many, many otherwise unnecessary deaths will in one way or another afflict our human family, our brothers and sisters, and perhaps our own loved ones and ourselves.

A very dangerous prospect is that of extremely long-living individuals continuing to follow indefinitely that long-ago already-fulfilled injunction to “be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth.” One thing that is almost certainly going to need to be done, will be to require submission to sterilization as the price for receiving the blessing of greatly extended life. Of course, people who get great life extension should be allowed to have children before being sterilized; just not every year for the next three hundred years.

Opposition to birth control is no longer consistent with a true, lucid love of life.
