If there was no death.

how fast would it take for the world to over populate.
or how fast would it take to double the worlds population

starting from now?

their are what like 4 billion chinese and 2.5 billion give or take in the rest of the world.... hmm,... each person birthing 1 child within a standard generation i would say we would be over populated within 100 yrs... 60 yrs i say.. i really have no clue i am just guessing.

1st one to go would be china not enough resources they be screwed within 50 yrs

The world is already over populated.

That's the biggest exaggeration i've ever seen in my life, China is not more populated than the rest of the world combined.

the asian continent makes up 4 billion total.

No war
No abortion
No famine
No diseases

Hmmm...well, we would fill the earth and the ocean...most likely could dig deeper into earth and dwell.

That's just humans...imagine all the animals!!!! Just the Whales themselves would over populate the seas!

AND and...and...THE BUNNIES!!!!

we would change our eating habits to rabbits, fish, chicken in certain areas to keep population down...

may not be enough though since we still have roaches, rats and other creepy crawling we would over run within a century in my humble opinion.. the poor ocean would be full of life choking on it.. unless some of the larger animals with slower reproduction step up their game and eat them all..

it would be a horrible world to live in we would kill not for food but to keep ourselves alive.

LOL

it would take a long while...

if everyone on earth was immortal id assume that regulations would be implemented to prevent breeding...

Realistically birth control would just become mandatory until we invented interstellar travel.

it certainly is NOT

there are areas where the economic development is not sufficent to deliever the basic needs to so many people, but we have FAR more than enough space for 6+ billion people, and the most imposing factor in getting them resources is NOT scarcity, but mismanagement/no top-down plan to feed/house/heal 6+ billion.

It's like the "you can only complain if you vote" idiocy...just not exactly.

Actually let's put together some numbers.

We have 6.5 billion people in the world today. Estimates say that 350000 people are born every day. That is one babies per day per 18571 in the world.

Now you need to find someone who can do calculus.

my bad i should have said Asians and its continent not Chinese..,, damn my generalizing and slight racism... chinese make up like 1.5 billion i think...

the asian continent makes up 4 billion total.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asia

some facts:

29% of Earth's land, 60% of population

a whopping 89 people per square KM

so, comepare this to Toronto, a city nobody would claim is overpopulated (with any credibility). Its population density is: 866 people per square KM.

Toronto has 10 times the population density of Asia

Problems with poverty and lack of economic development in Asia are certainly made worse by large population centres, however, it is certainly not the case that Asia is "overpopulated"

I don't know how often I come up against it, but I know what you are saying. Its such a cheap little meme that really doesn't hold up to any scrutiny.

Further, I have no idea what purpose it poses... "If you don't vote" at least is an attempt to get people involved in the political process. What the hell does thinking the world is overpopulated do?

6.5 b / 350000 = ~18571

18571/365 = ~50

so, just over 50 years before an additional 6.5 billion are born

if I understand the maths...

But as babies are born the population increases. So it would be slightly less than fifty years, probably closer to 40.

So, how would we feed 13 billion people?

Would we need to feed people if they could not die?

Would people who could not get food suffer, but not die?

What would we do with criminals? Sure we would not have murder, but rape, and other violent crimes would still be around. A life sentence is forever.
