Overpopulation question...Does a man contribute to overpopulation if he has children with several women?

Question

It's obvious that if a woman has several children she is contributing to overpopulation. However, if a man has children with 4 women and each women only has his child, is he contrbibuting to overpopulation?

Answer 1

DEFINITELY -- he is most likely also contributing to the problem that is very prevalent nowadays too -- being a DEADBEAT DAD -- because with this many children and this many different mothers -- he just is a sperm donor and then moving on as soon as the female announces "I'm Pregnant".

Answer 2

Every single child contributes to overpopulation. Since it takes two people to have a child, assuming each person had two children (which means a family of 4, mother, father, 2 children) the population would remain constant (not counting the many other variables). If a man had 4 children total and each woman had one child total than the man is contributing to overpopulation twice as much as the first example because he is siring twice his share of children. The women, however, assuming they only have children with him, and only have one each are contributing less to over population (but still contributing my having a child). The family (1 man, 4 women, 4 children) is contributing less to overpopulation, since 5 adults are producing only 4 children.

Answer 3

Any child bearing contributes to over population. The women that bear a child from a man who has fathered multiple other children by other women are more likely to have a larger family. If each of these women only had the one child, then I could see an argument the other way, but it is not likely.

Answer 4

A lot of variables there...
1. If the women in question otherwise would not have had children - than yes.
2. If the women are all his sisters and his children have three heads - no.
3. If the women would otherwise have had children with other men - than yes.

Answer 5

it would make a contribution to larger warming yet there is not any thank you to know how lots. in case you asked does larger inhabitants bring about heavily larger worldwide warming, i might have stated, in all probability no longer. once you employ the word, "overpopulation" , that word is indicative of an opinion and can't be used to elicit an precise medical reaction. One individual's overpopulation is yet somebody else's occasion. for sure there are not too lots of those interior the overly populated that evaluate their lives over the brink of what's in basic terms too lots, yet having stated that there are in all probability some in this subject be counted that have distinctive subject concerns with mankind.

Answer 6

A man is contributing to over population if you have one child . Cause that child will make up half of another in say 20 years and so on

Answer 7

hmm interesting thought.. I would say yes.. because if he never fathered those children she would have 0 kids right..

unless the women have their tubes tied there is no way of saying she had 1 and ONLY 1 thereafter...

Answer 8

Yes I believe so. A man should only have one wife aand a maximim of 3 children.

Thats just my own personel thoughts

Answer 9

yes, a man should only be allowed one child to keep the earth at the current population.

Answer 10

No, women are the limiting factor here. Women cannot reproduce any faster because they are assigned to one man.
