Should we really increase the fertility rate tho? The world is overpopulated, the more people there are the worse it gets for everyone else. What we really need to find is how to decrease fertility for the excessive breeders.

It's the same question; life is a competition for resources and wombs. The only way to decrease the fertility of the currently most fertile is to change conditions such that others with different traits out-breed them; both changes happen together.

I wouldn't say that's true. Endocrine disruptors could always be put into the water supplies of the developing world, and that would destroy their fertility, aid could be made conditional on sterilization etc. The fertility of a population depends on local conditions.

Imagine for a second that you're not thinking of "people" - just a type of animal. Putting fertility suppressing drugs in the water supply doesn't change the population equilibrium - X children can still be supported so X children will be produced.

That's a selective filter to be immune to your drug. An interesting selective filter is one that filters for some trait - that type of filter is going to do both jobs - the type that pass will produce more of a share of the X children that can be supported; others less
