Can you imagine how overpopulated America/Europe/Asia will become now? Just increasing the average lifespan will be severe enough. Instead of people dieing in their 60s, if they live 20 more years on average, that's 10s of millions more people walking the street in America alone. Thousands of people die each day from different things, from accidents to gun shootings to heart attacks to whatever. Imagine if 200 people a day are saved. Each year that's 73,000 extra people on the streets. What's that going to do to our food supply? Our polution? Housing?

Granted this is a cynical and pessimistic outlook on what could be a great medical advancement, but the implications aren't all positive.

6 billion people is enough.

We just need to keep the poor and uneducated from breeding.

Transient, we may live in the era of the highest world population ever...
Asia, Latin America, and both Western and Eastern Europe have been experiencing declining birthrates for years. In fact birthrates are falling in virtually every country in the world today, with the exception of the U.S and France.

An invention like this will have little effect on the total world population i think.

Maybe immediately, but what about the long term effects? Like 50 years down the road?

Plus that means France and the US will be overpopulated, which is still bad.

Similar advances in technology should allow people to have kids later, which would balance that out.

The problem is convincing people not to pop them out at the earliest opportunity.

And I quoted my typo.

Also...

"Boffins create zombie dogs"???

"Boffins"? That word should be banned. "Zombie"? Hardly.

Why is MSM science coverage so willfully poor?

The thing I like the most is the picture of the angry looking dog to give weight to the "zombie" headline.

I'd rather be limited to one child per person. Saying that is essentially saying I don't want to be alive (since my dad was one of eight kids) but I really don't think people should be having so many even without this discovery.

You aught to give China a try.

Sometimes I actually wish I were born in China or Japan. I think it would've been cool.

Dunno about Japan, I mean I want to visit and such, but I don't like the idea of trying to put my fingers up the teacher's arse all the time.
