A question about How Dense Can We Get? (WisCon 31 panel)

As of January 2007, the world population had passed the 6.5 billion mark, and many people feel we’re headed for trouble. Overpopulation has been linked to a whole series of possible catastrophes — global warming, resource depletion, and starvation. What should feminists do, who care about the future of the planet, and our future on it? If we need to change course, what should the new one be. The panelists will be giving short presentations on the problems associated with overpopulation, and their ideas for solutions, after which there will be time for discussion.

Would I be right in thinking that this either did not explore high population scenarios or if it did, did so with an assumption that those scenarios should avoided?

If the suggested course changes included a reduction in population, how coercive were the proposed methods?
