So cool, Karl! Thanks for sharing this panel. Sounds like you all had a great discussion ... As a phycologist/limnologist, I really appreciated the dark humour injected into an otherwise very dark subject...

A major point made in the novel that Soylent Green was based on, Make Room, Make Room, was that much of the problems in the world were due to the lack of use of nuclear energy.

Interesting, Karl... I didn't read the novel. The movie makes no reference to that. The opening of the movie makes clear what the source of the problems are ...

I should note that a lack of access to birth control was noted as part of the issue in the novel as well.
