I am not here to ask if Earth can have 20 billion people or not, I’m here to ask about the dilemma of saving lives might not always be good. If you want, you can up the number to 200 billion people and see that Earth can’t handle that number. At a point, you must say that saving more people is not a good thing, and it will just be a bad thing. And now comes the dilemma: if you say that saving people is not for the sake of saving people, you might be justifying murder (or preventing births) as “the most effective thing to do.”
