Poll: Overpopulation is a serious problem and you get to cast the deciding vote. Which do you choose?
This poll is closed.
It is more important that people can decide how many children they want to have, than that they can have enough food to eat. So I vote that there will be no forced restrictions on having children, and so millions of people will starve to death.

It is more important that people do not starve to death, than that they have the freedom to reproduce at will. So I vote that there will be forced restrictions on having children, and so people will be forcibly made sterile once they have children.

I did not have that specifically in mind when formulating the question.  Nor will the responses necessarily make such a distinction.  That is, one cannot be sure that all of the people who answer one way are consequentialists and all those who answer the other way are deontologists.
