The better health care can help people to live longer. And the birth rate is increasing in some countries so we could have alot of people. Health care could keep them a live for a long time.

I think that the better helth care that can keep us living much longer will do it. Thats about it. Yeah. The helth care is too good.

i think that our health care will become so developed that fewer & fewer people all over the world will be dieing. therefore, the world will become more & overly populated to a point in which there will not be enough resources & food in the world to support the entire human race.

I think that the main thing that is going to cause humans to reach their carrying capacity is the advances in medical technology. THey are coming up with technology that can keep people living much longer than they used to. Our population is growing very fast already and it will only increase.

There are many things that affect the carrying capacity. One of them is the birth rate and the death rate. These are affected by better healthcare and that is affected by an advancement in technology.

Some things that i think would cause the human popuslation to reach the carrying capasity would be better health care. Also if the birth rate increased and the death rate decreases. These would all help them live longer.

Things such as better sanitation, better working areas, etc. The birth rate and death rates are changing because of this, with better health care and less violence, the death rate is going down. With the death rate going down less people are dying and more people are having kids.

Well we are going to reach it when we no longer can produce enough food for all the people in the world. SO when we can no longer produce enough food we will reach it and then go down because of war to fight.

I think that better health care can make people live longer. And the birth rate is increasing and so like alot of countries will have a huge population. Health care would just help alot.

I would say that overpopulation will cause the human species to reach its carrying capacity. We have such a huge birth rate and a low death rate, so we will overpopulate. And when we have a huge population, we will not have enough food.
