It would certainly help, not to mention providing yet another excuse 
for the "authorities" to harass, arrest and incarcerate people.

Well, I'm sure there are some interesting arguments that can be made on 
this question.

It's curious to me that the developed nations have mostly stabilized 
their populations, apart from immigration. Yes, they may be consuming 
more than their proportional share of raw resources such as oil, and 
that issue has to be addressed, in reality as well in our discussion.

That said, I do *NOT* see overpopulation being a problem in places like 
the US, England, and most of Europe, to name a few. 

It seems, instead, that once people can feed themselves; once they know 
the government and/or criminals are not going to come and steal their 
land and property; once they have sufficient health care that their 
babies can live past infancy and their women don't die in childbirth... 
people pretty soon figure out that they do not have to have a dozen 
children in order for one or two to survive, and the birth rate 
declines accordingly.

In other words, I'd say that there ought to be a good chance of 
population being a self-limiting problem -- IN THE CONTEXT of healthy 
political, economic, and technological development.

Be well,

Mike D.
