That's a point that we AGREE upon. I feel like me saying it feels icky and acknowledging the awful history of eugenics was just ignored. This isn't a global famine sized problem yet, but when it is, and this conversation is forced upon us, then what? If you agree that overpopulation is a looming problem, what solution do you propose?

You acknowledged the awful history, and then proceeded to ask why we shouldn't do it again.

I personally don't agree that overpopulation is a problem we need to try and solve. If overpopulation kills people, let it. We won't go extinct. It's not our place to try and solve a self-correcting problem by deciding whose human rights we should violate.
