Life got so much simpler when I went anti-total utilitarianism :-)
But actually your point stands, in a somewhat weaker form, for any system that likes resources and dislikes waste.
Mmh, life should be "hard" for proponents of any theory of population ethics. See Arrhenius (2000) and Blackorby, Bossert & Donaldson (2003).
Yes, but total utilitarianism has an unbounded utility function, with the present state being vanishingly low on that scale, so it pressures to expand like few other theories do.
