Yes, I agree that declining populations (especially populations that shrink rapidly) bring on a whole host of issues with which we have little to no experience with. What I do not understand is your insistence that populations must to either increase or decrease, that it is impossible for a population to stay at the same level in the long term. Why is it impossible to have essentially zero population change, with roughly one birth for every death?
