Reverse any kind of gun control and legalize all drugs and let a large chunk of the population take care of themselves. Alternatively, I've felt for a while that we need to stop reversing Darwinism and start helping it. We coddle, cure, and protect people who degrade our gene pool. If we stopped putting time and effort into curing and treating genetic disorders, or only offered treatment to people who had no children and agreed to sterilization, we could do a small bit of population control and strengthen our genetics as a species going forward.

I wasn't actually trying to say anything so one sided. I guess my argument was that as a society we've reversed "survival of the fittest" by providing measures for those that nature would most likely deem unfit to continue surviving. Whether it's providing a protected environment or treating those with genetic disorders, providing aid for those that are unable or unwilling to provide for themselves, putting safety warnings labels on everything, etc we actively put effort into allowing those genetics proliferate. I didn't think, or claim, that we could force/accelerate evolution in anyway or that we were reversing evolution. Nor did I say that by stopping the treatment of genetic disorders or sterilizing those with them that we'd magically get rid of them. But if you want to rid the earth of a percentage of the population start with those that most likely would have been taken care of by nature anyway. Then move on to the prisons and members of hate groups. Or maybe I'm just an rear end in a top hat.

Woah, so this is starting to go down a dangerous path here. I no longer intent to argue or support my own statements above. I get what you're saying above in that if my comments are taken seriously and at face value it's a slippery slope... But for the record, I wasn't trying to imply people should be targeted based or race, religion, sexual orientation, etc. Nor am I supporting slaughtering any number of innocent people.
