Hardly. But your solution of withholding medical treatment is a silly one. Reminds me of the line from A Christmas Carol: ==== "If they would rather die," said Scrooge, "they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population. === While Scrooge's statement sounds coldly logical, the audience knows the view is the result of a soured view towards life, rather than a rationally derived worldview. Advanced nations have a naturally fertility birth rate. For instance, naturally born Americans already have an average of 2 children per set of parents, which is less than the replacement rate. Many, many countries have a fertility rate less than the replacement rate, leading long-term to a declining population.
