I think the more people there are on the planet the less "valuable" we become. I also think it's more humane to prevent births than to have a overpopulated polluted planet where billions starve because there isn't enough food for everyone. Right now we're getting by but millions are starving to death all over the world and not enough people care. (most likely because the people starving to death are in Africa, China, India, and other non-white or European countries)

What's going to happen in 100-200 years when it's our own citizens who begin to starve to death because our own population has expanded and global warming has destroyed arable land? Maybe I'm being paranoid but I'd rather play it safe than go along blindly with no thought to the future.

though I guess if a major disease like in the Stand came about then this whole post is a moot point.

Going to space costs a lot more money than we're willing to spend and the Earth is our home.
