I'm Concerned About Population Control

I don't agree with what the woman's sign says, but if ever some type of population control, a book I read not so long ago suggested a very humane way to implement population control.

In this book, a very determined scientist _created a virus that would render 1/3 of the planets population will decrease each gener[qde|ation until the Earth has not too many many but not so few that we'd be in danger of extinction, because I imagine that other geneticist would be working to stop that extinction from happening. Creating something to make humans suffer and die is simply not right. With too many bodies laying around, diseases would run rampant, and it'd smell simply aweful! And how do you dispose of the bodies you can without polluting the planet any further? There wouldn't be enough ground to bury them all in.

Eugenics is a really dodgy issue.
Where do you start ?
I sometimes think it's a shame creating life is as easy as it is when you're young.
If humans became more fertile the older they got, they'd have (hopefully) accumulated sufficient wisdom to know if it was such a good idea !

Maybe that's the solution: alter our genetics so that we're not fertile until the age of, say 20-25. Then, we'll get all the good side effects of birth control for free lol
