1 child per every 2 heterosexual reproducing couple is a stupid idea. You have more than 2 people dying for every 1 birth. In very short order you starve the economy of eligible labor, and overburden it with entitlements. This is not to mention that any negative population rate is unsustainable.

... I just realized that since my grandpa was born, there are more than twice as many people on earth. Crazy to think there will be a time when there are less people on earth over time. I believe I will live to see that occur.
