People make far too big of a deal about overpopulation. The situation will take care of itself over time. I was watching Bill Nye (yes, the Science Guy) just the other day and he said that if the child to parent ratio drops from 2.5 to 1.7, we will be down to 3 Billion people on the planet (which is ideal) in just two generations. This is a blink of an eye in world history terms.

The child to parent ratio is already dropping in many western nations, and it will follow in the rest of the world over time as well.

Using overpopulation as an excuse to condone destruction of life in this case is silly anyway, as you are essentially destroying the life to extend anothers.
