More about population control...

Darwin postulated that a species reproduces at higher rates than can be maintained or sustained; humans, like all species, have this problem and reproduce at a net exponential rate. It is true that there is only a finite amount of goods that can be grown or produced each year. When there are more people than food available we run into many dilemmas. 1) Being that many poorer societies will starve since they will inevitably not have the funds to purchase food; the less food there is with respect to people eating means that the price of food will increase. 2) The increase of death due to starvation will lead to massive amounts of ailments which will over burden our hospitals to the point where medical costs will either shut down hospital or insure that the wealthiest are taken care of. 3) With food shortages the increase of crime (be it theft, murder or any other crime that will lead to the acquisition food) will lead to martial law or a higher percentage of aggressive grievances between individuals, this will limit our ability to act as a “law and order” society. Ultimately we must see the moral implications of having the population act is such a cruel manner, it is immoral to let people die and to have them revert to barbarism. Thus, it is imperative to limit the growth of people in order to secure a well fed peaceful future.
