So, I think the interesting question is--take them at their word, and what do we then do with the resulting population explosion?

It's kinda like efforts to modernize (read: give Western lifestyles to) a lot of South Asia and Africa...a lot of pollution and ecological destruction that is probably not a good thing.

Given low birth rates in developed countries I'm not sure that the population explosion would sustain itself if the area was properly governed.
