Don't let that guy fool you... I can tell he wants government control on the population. Population Control (Agenda 21) has been in effect for a while now...
We have more disease (cancer, diabetes) then we have ever had, and you have to ask what caused it.. Contaminated food/water, and the push for abortion rights, is only a small number of confirmed examples that the global/national governments have pushed on us.

Depopulation would be beneficiary for the species as a whole in that sustainable resources would be plentiful in the future, and in the event of a global catastrophe the few left would have strong enough genes to carry on the Human race.
What I don't agree with however is the Capitalist way of implimenting this, Sterilisation and power by wealth isn't a good thing if we want to pave the way for future generations.
Here's the issue though. this replacement figure does not take into account disease, accidents, war, etc.

This overpopulation talk is all BS....a HOAX.
Why are we overpopulated??!!
Running out space/land? Anyone who has traveled the world knows this is BS.
Natural Resources? Come on!! We are way more Technologically advanced then most people precieve. Nanotechnology, Solar power(IMO most important), Wind Power, Tidal Power, Geothermal Power, Free Wireless Energy. Anti-Gravity Technology....The list goes on-on!
Food? Once again. There is absolutly no reason in this time and age with the technologies we have that ANYBODY on planet earth should have to go without food or water for that matter!! PERIOD!!
This overpopulation BS is nothing more then the men behind the curtains wanting the number of people cut for easier control and managability.
If there were no mortality in the female population until the end of the childbearing years (generally taken as 44 or 49, though some exceptions exist) then the replacement level of TFR would be very close to 2.0 (actually slightly higher because of the excess of boy over girl births in human populations). However, the replacement level is also affected by mortality, especially childhood mortality. The replacement fertility rate is roughly 2.1 births per woman for most industrialized countries (2.075 in the UK for example), but ranges from 2.5 to 3.3 in developing countries because of higher mortality rates.[3]
