Will there have to be a age cap for human beings at some point in the future?
People are living longer with some experts predicting that human life spans could double in the next hundred years. There will come a point where Earth will no longer be able to support the human population. Do you think there will be a ' Logan's Run' scenario where people shall only be allowed to live for so many years, or will there be compulsory birth control?

Your gonna get alot of bs from this question but it is a very realistic question. Most people know that china is all ready putting caps on the number of children per household, and good for them- despite some back fires. On the other hand, Eskimos were known to jump on an iceburg and float away when they become a burden on the community, also a great idea that we should consider. But one thing is certain, something must be done, most "advanced" societies are now showing negative growth, which is great for the population not so much for economies.
This is the only topic where i do show signs of racism. I a white American(not that its relevant) i see all of these other races growing at exponential rates and room running short for all of us. Is it wrong to want to see the proliferation of my race and ensure a world for a long time? Maybe it is. Unless something happens(we colonize the moon or a mass die out) decisions will need to be made. Decisions i am not looking forward to.
I suggest that everyone needs to have a certain amount of money in an account before having a child. This money will be the cost of care and education through college, so maybe $250,000? This ensures the child's wellbeing and success as well as population control.

I could only hope for compulsory birth control.Walk into any wankermart after welfare checks go out and you see the future.Look, the planet will not support the billions that are expected .Either drastic measures in food production and monetary values change or in the next 10 to 20 years we can kiss what we know goodbye. I don't want my little girl to grow up in this kind of scenario,to have to make choices on who lives and who gets the ticket to ride,but if your grandma is on a feeding tube and doesn't know who or what you are or grandpa is eating his own poop, steps need to be taken to protect the future of those who can still do for themselves. {yes,as a nurse I have seen this and much worse}I actually have a harsh view on this subject.I call it non liberal-old school thinking.Yes they should regulate in certain situations as in severely deformed or mentally useless.The truth is at times uglier than we would like to admit but it will eventually happen and our children and grandchildren will unfortunately see it.This makes me more sad than you would think by what I've said,but after awhile people have to wake up and sometimes it's too bright and the sun hurts your eyes.
