'''Population control''' means reducing the human population of the earth, in favor of other species or to promote political or ideological goals (see [[eugenics]]). Population control is based on [[pseudoscience]] and ill-founded [[economics|economic]] assumptions.<ref>Egnor, Michael (November 30, 2010).  [http://www.evolutionnews.org/2010/11/pz_myers_on_abortion040971.html "P.

[[Jacques Cousteau]] told an interviewer:
* What should we do to eliminate suffering and disease? It's a wonderful idea but perhaps not altogether a beneficial one in the long run. If we try to implement it we may jeopardize the future of our species. It's terrible to have to say this. World population must be stabilized and to do that '''we must eliminate 350,000 people per day'''. This is so horrible to contemplate that we shouldn't even say it. But the general situation in which we are involved is lamentable." (emphasis added for this article)<ref>[http://www.overpopulation.org/older.html]</ref>
