Many life extensionists question such a risk from a variety of positions.<ref>[http://www.martinborchjensen.com/hypotheses/overpopulation/ Dying doesn’t really affect overpopulation]</ref><ref>[https://pirate.london/2015/09/demographic-anxiety-and-transhumanist-perspective/ Demographic anxiety and transhumanist perspective]</ref> 2010 paper by [[Leonid A. Gavrilov]] from the [[Center on Aging]] outlined a number of different life extension interventionist scenarios, none of which is projected to cause such a problem.<ref>[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20426616 Demographic Consequences of Defeating Aging]</ref>

Life extension aside, many people are convinced we are headed for a global population crisis, however the demographics experts believe population is due to peak at 10 billion then decrease by all the existing projections.<ref>[http://www.ted.com/talks/hans_rosling_on_global_population_growth?language=en Global population growth, box by box]</ref><ref>[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3192186/ Demographic Consequences of Defeating Aging]</ref>

The attached report via the UN shows how population growth is in decline.<ref>[http://ourworldindata.org/data/population-growth-vital-statistics/world-population-growth/ World Population Growth]</ref><ref>[https://twitter.com/MaxCRoser/status/701729665849946116 Global population growth peaked more than half a century ago in 1963 with a growth of 2.22%]</ref>
