What If No One Died?
// April 9th, 2007 // General
People die. I will die. You will die. Death happens. But what if it didn’t? What if no one ever died? How many people would there be on the Earth? What would the world be like? Leave me a comment and tell me what you think.
Ugh…I live in NYC…we already have 8 million…if no one died we literally wouldn’t be able to move around.
Not to be morbid….but as a matter of personal space, death is good.
What if you died but you were able to talk while you were in the casket at the funeral home. You would be the first talking corpse!
Has anyone calculated what the outcome would be if every organism that was ever generated or born, not just man, never died? How many animate beings would populate or overpopulate the planet?
Given that Darwin has made it clear that organisms both compete and cooperate for limited resources I suspect that, if no organism ever died, the results likely would be catastrophic, eventually and ultimately leading to the extinction of all life on earth as environmental resources would be depleted. I suspect that competition among organisms would outstrip cooperation in this situation.
