Just read your favorite news source. You will likely find how humanity continues to push itself forward with advances in nearly every field that will enhance our lives and even allow us to live longer. It isn't too difficult to predict that, someday, we will have managed many if not all the major diseases that afflict us today. We will have essentially reached a point where age will be the only thing that would kill us; the so-called Hayflick limit. What then? Would we have caused our own demise by causing a ballooned population?
Of course it would be easy to say that, at that technological point, we would be able to send man to space and reduce our overpopulation. Or be able to recycle 100% such that there is no longer a 'limited resource'. But, for the sake of conversation, let us remove these possibilities out. How will humanity handle our exceeding the biocapacity of earth?
