Re: Population Limiting

the way i see it, the only way this would work is through cruel brute force.

Re: Population Limiting

No I don't agree with you on this. First off Let's say a woman has 2 kids then her husband dies and she remarries, that man can not have kids now... or if the man already had kids they could not get married, that's pretty much what here you saying is two kids per family. Secondly, abortion rates will sky rocket. Thirdly, This invades on some peoples beliefs, and would have to be carried out with brute force. And Finally, your plan is flawed, you say that this will only go on for a few generations, then they can start having as many babies as they want again, the problems would just start all over again. Correct me if I misunderstood anything you said.

You make a good point. Limiting someone to two children per generation is pretty harsh, since it can interfere with any religious beliefs or an individual's worth. What if a generation had a collection of conscientious and responsible people? It would be unfair for someone with that kind of potential to be limited to a small amount of children in my opinion. Also, abortion isn't really something I want to talk about, but I can agree that the rates of abortion would just fly through the roof. There's already been several abortions, and this would make that situation even worse.

However, the main point I am trying to make is that pretty much everyone has the potential to accomplish something positive in life, whether it's something big like inventing a new device or just something as small as being courteous to the people he or she meets. It's better to have a lot of educated people than it is to have less people of different variety. Of course, I can guarantee that a lot of the people today that don't care about anything going on outside their home/country do not have a good education.

Less people in the world could slow down global warming, but it won't exactly stop all the littering and harm done to the environment. A higher population with a better understanding of the ups and downs of human activity can be better.
