globally do u believe that people should be allowed to have lots of kids?

Answer 1

That would depend upon where on the globe they are. Even in China the one child only rule only applies to the major cities, the agricultural regions are allowed more children. They need them to run the farm, just as USA did when we were an aggro based economy.

Speaking of economies, we all know that every business needs to grow. A properly administered country is run like a business or it goes bankrupt too, like North Korea, or USSR or Cuba or ..... need I go on? If a country stops growing it can't support itself. If a country suddenly only has one child per couple the new population would soon not be able to support the existing population.

When was the last time you flew over the country in an airplane? Did you see people standing shoulder to shoulder? No? Me either. Even China has room between the people. Bangladesh is the most densely populated nation on earth and most of those people live in it's capitol Dacha.

We can not under populate the world anymore than we can over populate the Earth. The results of under populating would have an effect sooner than overpopulating, but we will never see it happen as the urge to reproduce is the strongest impulse we have behind self preservation.

Answer 2

I believe people should all be allowed to have as many kids as they want. Just because they are having a lot of kids does not mean they are taking up all the resources.

We live off of about 25 thousand dollars a year. I stay home and I homeschool, so we don't waste money on all the capri suns and lunchables, and we also don't put that waste into the garbage. We do a lot of work on the computer, so there is limited waste of paper and pencils. When we do field trips it is as an entire family, so I am not running back and forth to the school 2 or 3 times a day every day. I go when we can and want to go. There are many advantages to a larger family. One of those for me will be when I am comfortable in my own home with the help and support of my children instead of taking up hospital bed being fed tv dinners when I am 90.

Answer 3

I watched a news article just a few minutes ago describing how Canada's population is aging and the government may need to give incentives to increase the birthrate.

That news article was sickening to me.

Not only does it reduce human life to a matter of fiscal economics, but it does so at a time when the human population is so high the planet cannot support the current numbers. I thought the open border policy for all countries in the Commonwealth would have been enough to satisfy the governments need for a tax and labour base.

We have a weak willed, right wing government right now that takes its orders from south of the border. I hope that changes soon.

Answer 4

I don't know if "allowed" is the right term but I certainly believe that people should think about their breeding habits before procreating. I don't believe that there should be laws over people but people ought to think about the major drain on this planets resources already in place because of our demanding lifestyles.

The more people there are the more resources required thus putting the delicate ecological system or its balance out of whack.

People worldwide need to think about the global impact before having huge families.

Answer 5

I strenuously oppose any attempt to force people to have fewer children. China does that, in some cases by forcing women to have late term abortions. It is an abomination and gross violation of human rights.

The world population growth rate is slowing all by itself. The reason is the world is getting richer. Rich people tend to have smaller families voluntarily. The native U.S. population would be DECREASING if there were no immigration from poor South American countries. As it is, even with immigration the U.S. population is growing very slowly.

Answer 6

"Should be allowed"? Who's going to stop them? Are you proposing a system of only one child like China? Maybe a forced sterilization program like in the US and Europe in the late 1800s and early 1900s? The world has been there and done that. The results are horrific.

Answer 7

People should have more information about birth control, but they should be able to have as many kids as they want. Women should not abort either, they could give their unwanted child for adoption and get operated so they wont ever have kids. Those women should not be allowed to have any kids.

Answer 8

I think people should be allowed to have as many children as they like as long as they can provide financially and emotionally for them. There are too many people these days who just keep having kids with no desire or plan to support them. I agree that free birth control would help, but in countries where overpopulation is already a problem, I doubt it would be implemented.

Answer 9

I don't know who would enforce it. But most of our big problems these days are directly or indirectly related to overpopulation: energy, greenhouse gases, hunger, poverty... overpopulation is the root of a lot of war and cruelty.

In a situation where the individual's impact on the environment is limited, evolution favors those who survive and procreate best. We're among the best on the planet (insects might be better, maybe bacteria or viruses). Problem is, we and our world are changing faster than our genes can.

Answer 10

I think they should be allowed to have as many kids as they want to, but I also think it would help a whole lot if people had better access to education on the subject and birth control.
