It occurs to me that the important problem excessive World Population could be directly addressed via a national sterilization program for newborns based on a fair lottery. It could be operated free of eugenic goals as long as the lottery could be trusted as fair and random. If the technology were developed by our high-tech infrastructure to produce an effective pharmaceutical that could be injected, then all that would be needed is a modification of the laws to put newborns in a special legal status, perhaps as a "Fourth Trimester Person" until the pharmaceutical could be further developed and perhaps applied in utero.
I am trying to develop these ideas further to encourage citizens to consider the matter with calm reason rather than squeamishness. The USA has plenty of experience operating fair lotteries for large amounts of money that many accept as fair. The mammalian uterus operates much as a bingo box (in that that are 300 million spermatozoa and only one of them is you). It would probably be important to avoid situations where the lottery "win rate" (winning meaning where the infant is sterilized) low or even miniscule and promote the social and psychological effects of such a program. In some ways, it is an attempt to provide a more modern version of China's simplistic One-Child policy. The goal is the have an orderly and active program to help to limit and possibly gradually reduce world population to sustainable levels. Such a program is intended to be for the emotional comfort of this current (and possibly less mature) generation but for the stability and longevity of future generations who might deeply appreciate and quickly acclimate to such a program.
