Do you think the limiting of the amount of children a couple can have would be too ... extremist?

Question

what is wrong with limiting a couple to one child?

if global warming was true... would it really be a bad thing? would it REALLY? would it not just be natures way of balancing things out?

I mean, is 6 billion people on earth not ridiculous? when will people realise enough is enough? why is life so important in our society? I wouldn't go killing millions of people, but i do think medical advancement is going too far. Why cant people let go of life? what happened to natural selection? When will the elderly be pronounced dead? I mean... isn't a heart transplant, and a kidney transplant enough?

I'm not at all afraid of death, I'd be the same as before I was born. If i was sixty odd and I needed a heart transplant.. id say F*** that S***, kill me ive had enough.

Answer 1

Yah I want you for president......Nottt!!!!

Answer 2

Honestly I don't think it would be such a bad idea. It won't be long before we've run out of natural resources. I think maybe 2 children per couple should be the limit, as that's enough to keep the world's population constant.

Limiting the amount of children people have wouldn't necessarily lead to a gender imbalance. It's cultural attitudes that lead to female infanticide, and we can address these issues.

Answer 3

Wow, you're the first person who's head on about this subject *claps*. Awesome. But I AM afraid of death, I dont know what's on the other side, and yet what's the point of us keeping medical needs to a minimum when we've big brains and love to learn. Us discovering things, in my opinion is all in God's plan.

Answer 4

You would fit right in in Communist China.

There's a little problem called gender imbalance.

Just think if real life male to female ratio was like 10 pm at a dance club. All dudes.

No chance for you or your buddies to ever find a girlfriend or a wife.

What else is there to do? Play x box or join the military.

Answer 5

6 billion?

More like 6 and 3/4.

But if you think that's ridiculous, then you've vastly underestimated this planet's true potential for a growing human population.

What if i told you the planet could quite easily hold on it (or in it) well over 20 billion people?

I think you need to sit down, boy.

Answer 6

took the words right out of my mouth

Answer 7

Thats you though. Most people value their lives more than that lol you say that stuff now but you look quite young say that when you are actually in your 60's. What your saying is wrong no one should be able to decide who lives or dies thats just ridiculous certainly not the governments job.

Answer 8

Deathist.  

Answer 9

six billion is a bit ridiculous for one planet

trouble is the biological imperative is so ingrained that we find all kinds of ways to rationalise being slaves to our DNA

to limit your procreation is a brave step and it may save the human race
