Wrap your mind around this!

Lets hope they never figure out how to do that to humans, the world is getting overpopulated as it is.

Birthrates are actually declining globally, and the U.S. is historically underpopulated considering how much land we actually have. Populations are just concentrated in cities mainly, though it seems otherwise. Just sayin.

Land mass isn't the problem with overpopulation, resource availability and distribution is. And it's currently an issue.

Exactly. It's not that we don't have the physical room to fit more people, it's that we don't have the resources to sustain them at current standards of living, let alone with the developing world getting ever more 'developed'. It's one thing to have 2B+ Chinese and Indians living in poverty, but it's quickly becoming 2B+ of middle class who use 10x the resources.

Also, it takes 40-50 years after birth rates to go down for population curves to even begin to level off. China instituted the 1-child policy in 1979, 31 years ago. And their population is still exploding.
