But it's a myth that there's too many people and lots of them dying would help. We have enough food, land, wealth, for everyone. It's just hoarded by a tiny fraction of the world. Blaming these crises on people in other countries for having 'too many' children is ridiculous.

more importantly, increased mortality rate doesn't decrease population, it increases it. people who expect to live a long, healthy life have fewer children. people who expect half their children to die early don't have twice as many children, they have 3 or 4 times as many.
