>well it's nice there are "good" reasons. heaven forbid we should have to justify ourselves to the 95%.
I get what you mean, but the fact is that besides the moral reason (which is really the only reason we need to put the issue on the table), there are other reasons not related to the morality of the issue.
>only a majority? how about 100%?
I would be happy with a consistent 90%+.
Also, the reason this issue is so interesting from a technical stand point is that when one starts to look into it, one needs to take into account the carrying capacity of the planet, maximum practical population density and the insane artificially (as in, too much foreign aid) propped up fertility rates of certain countries.
And then you can also add space colonization and the politics of space colonization to the mix.
Humanity has some massive and fascinating issues ahead of it.
