You should add a question that asks what model of population ethics they support (Additive utility, Average utility, Other, Non-utilitarian, Don’t know).
That’s a good thought. But many versions of utilitarianism reach wild conclusions, so I like better “Do you support actions or policies that lower the global population growth rate, increase it, or neither?”
I think the theory question would be much more interesting, honestly. But if it’s all going into the super bonus question section anyway, I wouldn’t mind having both.

[Added] But I don’t care much.
