I don’t at all understand point #7. Are you saying that people who unsuccessfully try to escape NK get sterilised?
The net effect is: there are fewer North Koreans within the country, but more North Korean diaspora? It seems very likely to me that having escaped North Koreans would do much more to damage the regime than having the average rebelliousness of the population go slightly down, since advocacy is driven by escapees (e.g. Yeonmi Park).
What is the relevance of population ethics? That slightly more future people will exist under this intervention?
I was thinking captured escapees (and possibly their families) would be imprisoned (or executed) and so have fewer children in expectation as a result. By rescuing them, you may allow people living in NK to have more children in NK.
I expect the NK diaspora to increase. It’s not clear what the effect is on the population of NK.

Yes, although it might not be a small effect; it could be more than the number of rescues, considering their descendants.
