Sure, but what IS responsibly? If part of being responsible about it is limiting it, how do we decide to go about limiting it? Every answer does touch on eugenics. I agree with the proposition that we need overall less humans in addition to every other step to reduce our carbon/ecological impact, but doing it ethically is pretty hard.

how do we decide to go about limiting it?

The problem with that is that always leads to two things:

  1. Eugenics
  2. Killing off minorities who "reproduce too much"

Anyone who talks about limiting people from having children will inevitably lead to that conversation. It's a literal non-starter for anyone who thinks even a fucking bit.

Just listen to Michael Jackson's words.
