How can we create a sustainable future?

[Chadeaux]

Someone suggested this on a television commercial the other day . . . they called it some kind of way to create a sustainable future (like maybe we don't have enough resources to go around -- you know, food and such) would be through older citizens choosing euthenasia (doctor assisted suicide) once they could no longer contribute to society. Made me think of this scene from Soylent Green:



The question is whether it would actually be needed.

The concern is whether it would be voluntary.

I remember reading only a few years ago that this planet . . . if resources were managed without thought to politics or profit (please NO political posts) . . . could support as many as 12 Billion humans as well as the flora and fauna.

If we just went back to the draft and started another World War, we wouldn't have to worry about it. Choices, choices, choices...

As chadeaux requested at start of thread, keep political replies out of thread.

As per our rules keep politics out of the forums unless directly related to treasure hunting, posts that contain politics will be deleted.

Hopefully when that time comes it will be far into the future and maybe by chance you will be eating synthetic foods/nutrients.

So, until then; just

And, they're also entering that high reproduction stage. Packer, I think you may be on to something!
