Am I intelligent? If so, am I intelligent because of genetics? If so, how much have my genetics contributed to my intellect? If quite a bit, does that mean I will have intelligent offspring? Is intelligence a survival trait?
But yeah, the right to reproduce would seem to be something worth defending during times of underpopulation and something not worth defending during times of overpopulation. That said, it's generally considered to be unethical to force people not to reproduce or to have them rendered unable to reproduce. And clearly people aren't willing to volunteer to any meaningful degree to abstain from having children.
We'll hit the wall, crash, and then probably do it all over again. It'll be a gas.
