a large organism (human populaton on earth) reaching equilibrium and ceasing to grow does not equal to human extinction... it far more likely is just a temporary contraction that will then reverse when the conditions are set for it.

human extinction is far more likely if we keep reproducing than if we slow down. See: climate change etc
