> The reality is that the best way to control population expansion is by bringing good healthcare to a region.
That's a very good idea, and consistent with civilized standards and compassion, but it will not "control population". Population is a different issue with its own rules and constraints.
> but there are humane, concrete solutions ...
There are no "humane, concrete solutions". There are no solutions at all, not for a civilized people who honor individual rights. We can force people to reduce their numbers and abandon any right to call ourselves a civilized people, or we can honor individual rights and watch the unfolding of a catastrophe.
This is not a movie where all the problems get resolved in the third act. This is reality, and nature is in charge.
People who (like the author of the linked article) wave their hands in the air and say it will all work out, just don't understand biology and natural selection.
