Reply #8: No it won't [View All]

"SS will work very well when we get to the one in, one out population stabilization that we need to survive."

except for the small problem of SS requiring a many-to-one relationship to sustain itself. We'll get to age-limit euthanasia first before people agree to the conditions required to sustain 1:1. Remember, that one paying in also needs to pay for himself and his replacement as well as his predecessor - can't work on a mass scale at anything near current levels of technology. And if we make the great technological leap to make that possible, that leap will likely also remove the barriers to exocolonization, making the 1:1 setup unnecessary.
