"Fill the earth" - inevitable

"(And don't underfill or overfill)?"

I have been thinking about this for a while. Dr. Mohler regularly brings up marriage, having children, underpopulation, etc.

The question I'd like to put on the table is: When God gave the commandment "Fill the earth" to his creatures, could it be disobeyed especially in our case?

Are we hardwired to fill AND THEN STOP? or can we disobey such a primal command

Here's Mohler's commentary (scroll down) but the essence is Japan is imploding in population with ramifications that now must bring it to its knees economically and socially.
