I do agree that it happens naturally, but if we want to bring "everyone's" standard of living up, without having to sacrifice our own, or send the planet into code, it makes sense to me to at least try to speed up the process.  I guess I just don't see that limiting people to two children is that much of a sacrifice, but I do realize there is huge resistance to this type of interference in peoples' lives.  Then again, one would seem to want their children to at least inherit a livable planet.  I'm guessing that the buildup of toxics like flame retardants, DDE, etc. will eventually have more effects on human reproductive success.  oh yeah, but we can just grow them in test tubes.
