So we should just breed away poverty? For all the assumptions and various levels of truthiness in your five enumerated problems, this is awfully optimistic pie-in-the-sky thinking.
Have you considered how long it would take the 1% families to achieve meaningful growth relative to population sizes even if every woman has 15 children starting at age 18? On the flip side, have you considered how hard it is to get poor people to stop getting pregnant? What would the incentives look like?
