Doesn't make any sense to me to draw some arbitrary line in the sand and say people with this problem get fixed and live, people with this problem don't and die.
If you need population controls (which I'm not convinced are needed anyway), there are many other ways to do it. Easiest way would be to work on helping developing nations through to more educated and less poverty stricken states (birth rates then go way down).
Plus without further research and understanding we are more vulnerable to something serious.. AIDS that can be transmitted through the air for example or something, either we come up with a way to prevent it or it kills us all off.
PLUS you are asking humanity to act against its very nature.
