That's not controversial. It's outright stupid.
First of all, how do you know their descendants weren't already born, and thus are still alive?
Second, if you think genocide is a viable solution to over-population, I'm shocked. Surely you realize that if this were enacted as a real policy, a 40 year old, barely employed, spliff addict is probably one of the first to go.
And third, it's not even debatable that every single socioeconomic and geopolitical problem that exists is tied to overpopulation. If we still had this near-billion people and their descendants walking around today, then we would be even closer to the critical turning point where we as a species have to take drastic action to reduce population and extend the longevity of this planet. Instead, we're farther away. So no measures are being taken. More pollution, more population growth, more poverty allowed to continue unchecked for an extra century or two.
