That entails keeping people from having sex or making them take pills to prevent pregnancy. Sounds like tampering with nature to me. Humans are as much a part of the environment as everything else.

Our ability to proliferate is a survival trait that has saved the race more than once in the event of a cataclysm, and a widespread genepool makes for more efficient natural selection.

Curtailing at 100 million sounds like a bad idea. How about putting to work the ingenuity that allowed us to reach 5 billion to find a way to deal with the problems of overpopulation?
