Monjoronson: No, genocide is not an aspect of that [[design]]. The connotation of population reduction is that this is an [[intentional]] reduction of population by some outside [[influence]]. This is not the case. Population decimation is a much more accurate designation for population reduction due to natural causes that are [[developmental]] and [[evolutionary]] and [[epidemiological]] on your [[planet]]. Genocide is [[human]] [[origin]]ated. The main population reduction [[method]] [[processes]] that have occurred throughout the [[history]] of your planet has been [[famine]], [[pestilence]] and [[war]]. We would consider genocide an aspect of war. The natural occurrence of famine and pestilence are sufficient to reduce population on your world. These factors have been [[virtually]] eliminated due to modern [[science]], [[medicine]] and [[disease]] control procedures yet they can only hold back the dam of pestilence and famine and difficulty for so long. Eventually there will occur the [[developments]] in [[evolution]], a strain of disease which will overcome and overpower those [[technologies]]. Thank you.
