If someone isn't allowed the chance of death, how is it any different from being forced to live?

Yes I agree that even if there were just two people on the entire planet, one shouldn't force the other to suffer, but in that situation their survival is comparatively more important to the survival of the species, than when there is an overabundance of their kind.

Also people get a bit too emotional about children but a life be it of a child or an adult is still a life, and if someone is pro-life they should care for both.
