Just a century ago almost all the life on the planet was wild. Now much of it is humans or the animals we're raising for food.
No matter what someone feels about human population, if they think the next 8 - 9 decades is a gift to the innocent baby they make then they are living the sickest lie.
Adopt y'all. Really, wake up. 40,000 people starve to death every 24 hours. There must be a baby out there whose life could be saved if people decided to help them instead of feeling obliged to carry their super-incredible-and-special genes into the nastiest century ever.
(and I notice from most of the comments here that most DU'ers are typical symptoms of a disease killing it's only host IN THE WHOLE F'ING UNIVERSE, making excuses for why over 7 billion humans is just great.)
