Did you ever see what happens to bacteria that reproduce exponentially in a test tube? They die a horrible death drowning in their own excrement. It would be nice to sterilize a random sample of 85% of the world pop for a few generations, but no doubt that would have it's own problems. "We can expect the world's population of 6 billion [in year 2000] to become 12 billion by 2054 if current growth continues."

Forecasters have predicted that disease, hunger, education and rising standards of living, war, and pollution, will cause the world pop to level off considerably ( ~11 billion) after 2075.
