Think about it our population has more than tripled in but a few years, and most of it is due cause of all these break throughs in modern medicine. People are living longer, small infections aren't killing us so easily. Our chances of survival hav grown exponentially. But I mean all of this is leading us to get to a point in wish we may not have enough food, resources, energy, or clean water to keep living. We would have killed ourselves. So do you think modern medical advancements will keep us alive long enough for us to Kill the earth and ourselves with it?

Answers:

The problem is that you are misunderstanding population statistics. Medical advances are common in industrialized countries, and in most industrialized countries there is no population problem. In fact in some places like Japan, and some countries in Europe they are experiences population slow down or regression. The main cause is that the more education and money someone has the less likely they are to procreate.

Unfortunately the population of the world is ever expanding, but in the worst areas. This population explosion is happening in 3rd world countries. Sadly, this means that millions of those new babies will die due to lack food and clean water.

Therefore the answer to your question is an easy, "No." Medical advances that allow people to live longer and healthier lives are not available to the majority of the world. The populations that are effected by these medical break throughs simply do not make up enough of the world or procreate enough to be a detriment to themselves.

No. There will always be war and homosexuals to help control the population.

Essentially, you are asking a question that is more related to population. via the ability of humans to live longer.
