I do not believe in this topic. Humans are not so many as we think. Even if we were so many, why reduce for what? Many people think that food will not be enough in the future but it is not true. We have a lot of places where we can cultivate. Countries like Canada and Russia are actually empty. People can easily move there if there are nowhere to go. With science, we can easily plant anywhere. We are already eating modified fruits and vegetables. We are doing great. We do not need to kill people or to reduce the population.

I completely agree with you. There are so many places in the world that are just empty. I would actually say that most of the world is not inhabited by people. People really just group together in the big cities. Of course, you wouldn't actually have to kill people to reduce the population. It can happen naturally. Nonetheless, I don't think it's necessary. In terms of food, people are worried that we'll run out. Well I've heard that we actually through out about 50% of food that is produced! If we just fixed that problem, we could feed twice as many people!

I get your view. I have a follow up question, Does this mean that every place that humans have not occupied has to be occupied? what about other living species? And lastly, Don't you think that places where are not yet occupied by human are not that favorable for survivor in the long run?

Of course we couldn't possibly fill up every part of the earth. There's no need to do that either. There is so much more space. If people want, we can also just build taller. Theoretically every house or 2 or 5-storey building could be replaced with a 50-storey building or maybe even a 100-storey building. There are so many places left to inhabit. Take a look at some stunning images of how much of Canada is empty: https://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2014/04/17/canada-empty-maps_n_5169055.html. You can see her that 47 percent of the US is uninhabited: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2607431/Want-away-Interactive-map-shows-staggering-47-PERCENT-country-currently-uninhabited.html. There are plenty of good places to live, if needed.

I respect your opinion but its not always about habitat , many country even lived beside polluted river , just to get a waste food so their family can eat, Too many children in a family is a crucial things to them, first the children can't go to school because of poverty, second the they don't have a house and if theyre going to relocate , it I's much harder to them to adopt where they will be placed.
