Is it right to cure disease?
Suppose we were able to cure all disease at this very moment. All of the people who would ordinarily die will now remain alive, resulting in a higher-than-usual population. This effect will only be further compounded by those people who would have died now being capable of having [more] children. However, you may have noticed this problem isn't strictly limited to disease. Any mechanism, tangible or not, which prolongs the life of someone who would otherwise die, will in effect produce a higher-than-normal population.
So, while saving people sounds good on paper, the inevitable result is an increased population and its subsequent effects (eg. overpopulation resulting in famine, crime, etc...).
What is your solution to the problem?

Assuming all those scientists now are working on alternative options wouldn't it be more of a reality of maybe making mars habitable? Or thinking of other solutions? Don't get me wrong I know this is a serious problem but random and selective culling is wrong. Everyone should have the right to live. The child limit is never going to work as you can see people already cannot fix that. And tell people to get forced sterilisation. Just try. Superpowers are the ones who have control and the easiest thing at this stage would be to drop a few bombs would it not? Very nice topic for discussion I'm not normally as interested.
