Did you read the OP? For the sake of overpopulation, you would have to choose between infertile eternal life, or what we have now.

It is counter evolutionary because are two basic instincts in any animal are self preservation and procreation. It creates an unnatrual scenario to choose one over the other. On a mass scale, what would the decision be? Life or the survival of your species?

I don't understand why anybody would voluntarily do that. Is it a hypothetical caveat, or are you assuming that's how most people would act?
