It doesn't help when
Ted Turner claims a need to reduce world population by 90% on national tv.

I don't understand
If it turns out that large family sizes really are a result of poor living conditions, surely improving those living conditions and controlling population growth would help abate the problem of scarce resources. This doesn't have anything to do with sterilization or murder- quite the opposite. So I don't see anything unethical about it.
Do you have some support for an argument that population size isn't causally related to scarcity of resources? That would be the only thing that would convince me that Gates and Turner are saying anything wrong.

You're saying that vaccinating children against potentially fatal diseases is playing god (which I assume means some sort of abuse of medical technology). At this point I'm not sure but think you must be joking- I probably should have caught on sooner.
