Again with the population. if we were to (just throwing out numbers here) decrease the deathtole of disease by 50%, that's a hell of a lot less people dying, and I'm sure we honestly do not want that.

Population growth is already a problem, think of China where the one child policy and granny police had to be used, as well as all of the infant mortality.

GM crops will allow a higher population to be sustained but this means the population will grow even more then we wont have a solution
