Some of u are blaming getting older for overpopulation and yes of course it adds up but u should also look at the fertility rate. In Niger women have 7 children, in Macao only 1. Half of the world's population growth will be in Africa. Should we stop living healthy and die sooner because the birth rate elsewhere is out of control? No, it's better to improve living conditions, maybe have some birth control, so the population growth goes down.

At the current state there will be never something like birth control out of different reasons. China tried it and failed with it. Reason? People wanted more children, or wanted to get a son instead of a daughter so they killed sometimes their daughters after birth or other things.
I also assume that it is hard to make something like birth control because how do you want to control it? And when someone has more children how do you want to punish them? Prison? A fine?

Humanity in a whole is too stupid to see their own mistakes and problems until it is too late.

Overpopulation is a myth look at all the free space jungle you can go farm and live. It is a political agenda. More birth = more population = more use of Ehealth product

Sorry but that is such a stupid statement. Overpopulation is a major problem. Sure there is space, but to what cost? You destroy environment more and more which leads to extinction of different animals, pollution and natural disasters. But hey, who cares, right? Like Trump "It's freezing outside, where the hell is "global warming"?"

Glad that this discussion came up about the problems that overpopulation is bringing. So, in my opinion, we really have bigger problems to solve than trying to double/triple our lifespan. Sure, for every individual it might sound great to have a longer (and healthier) life, but it's important to keep in mind that this will cause also problems in a larger scale.

Smart scientists have proposed to pay women over 50 a bounty if they don't have children by then. The problem of population growth is completely ignored by Western media and politicians because it's mostly happening elsewhere. Mass migration should be a wakeup call.
