Most probably.

Overpopulation would become an immediate issue? It already is in a lot of places around the world.

I'm a rural fag and I would literally kill myself if I had to live in a city for the rest of my life, I just find the concept depressing as fuck. Surrounded by people, brick and stone. Fuck that.

You just stop reproducing...

Its already happening in developed nations, its the non developed ones that keep fucking like rabbits.

>overpopulation

I hate this word.

>> No.3721478

overpopulating takes care of itself by killing those who cannot afford food/water, thus there can be no overpopulation. unless price of food and water becomes ridicuously low but it seems to be doing the opposite atleast where i live

With increasing larger amounts of food crops being diverted for biofuels, food prices are already rising. Thats why there has been a spate of food riots and protests in sandn!gger cuntries.

Food price goes up, wogs start dying. Look at Somalia. Now all the developed world needs to do is sit back and let Malthus take the wheel.

Why the fuck would anyone want to live longer?

There is no overpopulation issue. We could fit every single person in the world in the state of Texas and everyone would have room to live. There is a distribution issue. Some people are getting a lot more than they need to live, others don't get enough and so they die.

You don't see anything wrong with mass starvation as the means of population control? With RISUG, affordable contraception could finally be brought to the shit tier nations of the world.

>>3721744Food price goes up, wogs start dying. Look at Somalia. Now all the developed world needs to do is sit back and let Malthus take the wheel.

If only people would stop sending foreign aid to places like that. You can have food or you can have babies, not both.

For the moment, though there are other resources that we will burn through before we actually don't produce enough food for everyone.

Why aren't you killing yourself right now?

People living indefinitely would NOT cause overpopulation, because birth rates would plummet.

This is bullshit, but it's a separate issue entirely. If you put everyone in Texas they would be crammed in at the density of New York City.

What if the life after death is so much better than this shitty life

>> No.3721836

If we do stop ageing, we'd have to carefully ration it out. I want Bob the scientist who is helping the world to live forever, I don't want Hank the redneck with 34 inbred children to stick around any longer than he absolutely has to.

There is no life after death. It's the same as before you were born.
