> Would you say the same about diseases and pandemics? For sure. Anything that we chip away in population control will end up having effects elsewhere in the ecosystem. I don't understand how that's a controversial statement. That doesn't mean we shouldn't but it also doesn't mean eradicating things like mosquitos is a good idea either. The same arguments have been given time and again when talking about genetically modified species of insects and animals; the variables of change are too high to predict how it will affect the world around us. Imagine if all animals and all humans only died of old age from the dawn of time until now. Would Earth be able to sustain itself? I think not. Maybe biology has changed since I've taken it, but these things are considered pieces that are a larger part of homeostasis for ecosystems. The last part of your statement is just generally confusing.
