Actual they don't need to "grow a living being to get a part. They have grown an ear in the back of a mouse and a blood vessel in a "bio-reactor". I'm pretty sure that science will advance far enough in the next few years to give us the ability to grow any part in a "bio-reactor", if we can't already. I used a grandpa as an example but it could easily be a baby or a young woman.
HERE is a link about growing body parts.

Interesting...the whole "over population" thing is a farce. The problem is governments that can't take care of their people, and horrible weather conditions that prevent the growth of food stuffs.
If you shoved the entire world popluation into the state of Texas...it would equal almost 25,000 people/ sq. mi.
Sound like a lot?
When you compare it to the Chinese city of Huangpu (which has a pop. density of 142,218/ sq. mi.) for almost the same size area. They seem to make it work.
It's a ploy

I agree - it should not be served up like car parts. It should be served up Italian style with some nice wine.
I've never heard of this "part throttle" before. Does it just bolt on?

It's a ploy huh? But to what end? Also, do you think the city of Huanpu is self sufficient? I severely doubt it. So that means massive external resources need to be pumped into it. Suppose everywhere inhabitable was like that. What do you do if everything needs additional outside resourses pumped into it? Suppose the Middle East(and all the other major oil producers) couldn't give us oil because they needed all of it(and more) for themselves?
Now do you realize how much of China is desert? Furthermore, do you realize that is man-made desert? They completely depleted the land in order to support their population. How is that for "making it work?" It works for now - but for how long? Certainly not forever... not even for a relatively long amount of time given the rate we're growing at.
The problem is that we could maybe handle 10 times the current world population - for a while at least - but resources run out and then we can't even support 1000th of the current world population. You see we only can support what we have now due to extensive use of non-renewable resources - mainly oil(which besides pure energy production does have extensive agricultural usage as well for example). Even if we find energy alternatives for cars, factories, power plants etc - we're still screwed if we run out of oil - because our modern high output agriculture is as addicted to the bio-energy of oil as our cars are addicted to the combustion energy. Eventually we won't be able too feed everyone. Many may disagree as to exactly when our oil runs out - but only a blatant idiot thinks it will last forever.
IIRC - deer once got introduced to a deserted island(forget where - maybe canada or greenland) without any predators on that island. Their population soured and expanded exponentially(like ours is now) - indeed they did quite well for a long time - then all of a sudden their population dropped to almost nothing. It was not disease or anything of the sort - and of course with no predators, what killed them? FOOD - since their population was never checked(like ours needs to be) by predators, or anything else - they consumed all available resources(just like we do) until there was nothing left - and all at once they all starved. You don't need to be psychic to see what is going to happen to us when our resources run dry - assuming some massive war doesn't do the job first.
Maybe I can look up the specifics and a link for this later - I'm too tired right now.

All I can say is I'm glad I'll be dead before we have to face any of these issues.
After oil, the next great wars will be over water.

on a side note bastardking- the earths oil will NEVER run out. it would just be simply, it would be too hard to get out. rendering it effectively the same as being "out" of it.

I can see where you're coming from, but there are a
few differences between humans and deer.
And the thing is, I didn't say you only had that much area. If you would hold everyone to that area, you would have the rest of the planet to use for said resource gathering.
As for resources, it's only a matter of time until we find another source of propultion. Whether it be a different form of combustion or a completely different means of power, I have enough faith in humans and the fact that we could think of something to save our skin.
Not only that, but there will probably be some sort of disease that will bring our population back down to reasonable levels if that would need to be the case.
The way I figure it is that you don't need to worry about something that "might" happen in about 2000 years. Let us figure out the problems we have now or in the semi-near future.
I agree with Augustion.. Water will be the next big fight after oil.. Makes me nervous. In Canada we have large oil reserves and we have more fresh water than anyone.... Trouble is brewing for us.

This world is over populated
increasing the world's population will create more problems, and it will create more wars.
I do not have any kids, and I hope I'm dead before @!#$ gets worst.
