> 2. It's not just less humans, it s of worse quality

what do you mean by this? that humans not of the western world are "lower quality"?

I think GP meant that lower egg quality leads to more birth defects, etc. So not just fewer humans born, but those born have more problems. A statement which is completely independent from point 1.
I assumed that this characterization in this context meant "less capable to protect Earth/environment/humanity", which is not too controversial given the inverse correlation between average education level and birthrates
No , i mean lower sperm/egg quality. Why are people quick to jump to extreme conclusions here?
