Having a longer lifespan =/= more kids. In fact it has proven to be quite the opposite. The longer we live, the less kids we have. Our population would most likely shrink because of this. This trend is often mirrored in other animals. Longer lived animals tend to have less kids.

Unless we're having half as many, it's still a net harm
