→Eugenics?: new section
I changed the opening of the article to clarify that "population control" is not the myth - it's the concern about overpopulation that is. Population control is the reaction to the myth, not the myth itself. For the record, I don't consider the whole "liberal socialist myth" part to be true, but my fix is meant to be grammatical/contextual, not ideological. --[[User:DinsdaleP|DinsdaleP]] 10:44, 9 January 2009 (EST)

== Eugenics? ==
Population control and eugenics are two different things: eugenics aims to interfere with with ''qualitative'' aspects of natural human reproduction, population control aims to interfere with its ''quantitative aspects''. Occasionaly the two overlap (as with the examples of mass sterilization of the poor) but I do think the distinction needs to be mentioned.
