I'd like to know how you know we are over populated? Their are certainly atrocities all over the globe born from greed, envy and the like. But the lack of food or water for millions is due to those injustices not their mere existence.
You're argument is over population as a threat to the planet, which I presume is a long game threat to ourselves because the planet sustains us? Yes?
So reduce the number of people and reduce planetary destruction (as if the planet doesn't regenerate) and therefore increase the amount of time people can destroy the planet which will happen anyway because it's a forever diminishing time line.
So we're left with the old clean habitat for me bit. But I don't think you really mean that, although that seems to be you're argument.
As for rights to sperm and eggs. Well, in a sense yes, because the rights are to the bearers of those genes like your parents and the future that is their right to have. A future with a child or 10 children.
Why do you think the planet, which spawned us, views humans as a threat?
