The women will still run out of eggs at some point, though.
Not to preserve the population but to preserve their family names. This was the way of the Chinese and probably other Asians.

It looks to me that we die because its a natural process of being human, not because of someone snacking on a forbidden fruit. I guess it is a religious debate after all.
From a religious perspective:
It’s possible that, had the fall never happened, after a certain amount of time on earth, God would’ve still taken people to heaven. Just not via death. (ala Elijah) Sort of a journey off the planet.
And it could be that the Fall just opened up the way for spiritual death (hell), in addition to a physical “death” (or journey off the planet).
WAG.
But scientifically, it doesn’t seem possible that the planet could support – at the same time-- every person who was ever born.
Happy, neither a theologian nor a scientist
