Re: Should there be a moral obligation for humanity to have less kids?

In theory, yes. But any sort of policy either ends up disproportionately targeting poor people or ends up with something like the China situation where you end up with girls being unwanted and a gender imbalance.

We aren't at the point yet where population is the issue except in major cities where people seem to move anyway regardless of births. We should focus on other issues for now.

And the other thing is, in a lot of Western countries, the birth rate is actually super low and sometimes even lower than the death rate. Populations in the West are increasing more by immigration than by births.

The gender imbalance in China is encouraged greatly by cultural issues. I think Western countries would not have quite as much drive to have sons.

No, but Western countries don't have a birth rate problem. Western countries nearly all have birth rates close to or even less than death rates and have population increases mainly through immigration. So this isn't something Western countries are going to have to consider for a long time.

Well if Countries prioritize one sex over the other, then their overpopulation problem will only take one generation to solve itself. Either that or we'll finally perfect male pregnancy bio-tech. Win-win. I'd love to see some Designated male at birth men be forced to be pregnant for the Texan style greater good arguments they level at women.
