How are we going to feed an ever-growing population?

How are we going to treat debilitating diseases that plague much of the world, in a cost-effective manner?

How are we going to improve the quality of life for all the people who are living longer lives?

How might we address unforeseen medical and nutritional crises?

You have a very short-sighted attitude. Which is not to even mention the impact that tying your approval of your children to the field in which they choose to work will have on them.

Point of information: the world population is currently predicted to peak at 11 billion, due to the rest of the world going through demographic transition. So not ever-growing - though 11 billion is definitely enough to cause problems...

Simple: don't have an ever-growing population. It can't ever grow in any case, so it's better to work toward stabilizing and then reducing it. Through attrition of course.

With a population significantly less than today's level, biotech isn't really needed. Without modern biotech people can live to be 80+ on average. That's good enough in my book. I support death (even my own, at 80+!), to keep the population fresh and keep the dictators dying. Overall, I'm confident the benefits of no biotech outweigh the negatives.

I don't think I could help being disappointed if a kid of mine chose to work in a job that did great harm to others, be it cigarettes or GMO food. That's kind of natural to feel that way.

I support death

Death doesn't really need your support, although it might appreciate the fanbase as it is usually not that popular on the whole, apart from with goths, although it tends to find them a bit embarrassing.
