Just capitalism doing its thing
IMO
We don't need more people in the world right now. We should be concentrating on figuring out how to agree on having and applying the best support for the ones we already have first.
You'll be glad to know that populations around the world, particularly in energy-intensive nations, are starting to decline. Some, like the US, are propping this up with immigration (for now) but places like South Korea, Japan, and a lot of Europe have been below replacement for some time.
And to a lot of people this would be a good thing. Fewer people means less impact on the planet and more to go around for everyone. But a lot of our systems are predicated on eternal population growth. For example, a lot of countries have pension systems that require there to always be more young people paying into it than there is old people taking payment.
Then you have the problem of who does the jobs that these retired people rely on. If there are fewer young people to do all the jobs in society, how will the non-working elderly buy groceries or get medical care or have packages delivered or clothes to wear? Automation can solve some of this but not all of it, plus who's going to develop and build the robots?
It's going to be a very drastic change in how societies are organized, especially combined with how the Internet and climate change are going to affect society. Hopefully we'll come out the other side a little smarter.
Goddamn ancient Chinese curse, stupid interesting times....

Welcome to the Wisconsin State semen/fertility donation center! We have dressing rooms on the left and on the right we have rooms with permanent donors! Like in restrooms you'll see rooms for men where we'll have our braindead "moms" set up to your penis precise height. If its for women, you'll find our braindead "husbands" layer out in reachable love seats. Please ignore the fluffers, they are all volunteers who's job is to ensure the highest quality erections.
We have lay away if you find a suitable partner but need more time. And no, we don't rent out the mothers and you cannot take them home for birth day. It all happens here, our staff is the best....
reminds me of that one rimworld copypasta
Play it again, Sam!
