on an economic level there's no over population crises worldwide.
there's plenty of food and space for alot more of us.

but i'm bloody sick of people so i think the fewer the better.

also i'd rather we didn't have such a big impact on our enviroment,
deforestation, animal extinction and whatnot.
and screw our economy.

i don't know the exact laws of China off hand but they do seem ridiculously unfair and unjust and infringing on many basic human rights we take for granted in our own countries.



There may be plenty of food, but the wealthy countries don't share it. If there were no crisis, nobody would be starving to death as we speak.

"Designed to Limit Population Growth
China has proclaimed that it will continue its one child policy, which limits couples to having one child, through the 2006-2010 five year planning period.

China's one child policy was established by Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping in 1979 to limit communist China's population growth. Although designated a "temporary measure," it continues a quarter-century after its establishment. The policy limits couples to one child. Fines, pressures to abort a pregnancy, and even forced sterilization accompanied second or subsequent pregnancies."

https://geography.about.com/od/populationgeography/a/onechild.htm

anyone have opinions about this??? I have heard about the policy and was pretty shocked at first knowing that someone can restrict you from having a family but I guess I could see why with the overpopulation, what do you think??? Do you think your country should start this policy with maybe instead of 1 child it may be 3? Is there a global crisis of overpopulation?


I think it is wrong

And I would never go for that, it is unnatural .....and my calling in life is to be a mother. I want at least 8 kids (I want alot more, but lets just say 8 ) I would never do any of the planned parenthood junk.
Plus, the earth can't be overpopulated.

I have always wondered what happens if you have one child and then divorce? If you remarry are you allowed another child?
If so, is that for both parents, or just the one who doesn't get custody.

Either way, the law does seem to be cruel - forced abortion is wrong!
I understand if some measures are not taken people will break the law all the time, but surely a hefty fine or community service would be better?

I do hope that birth control in China is free!

oh this' from awhile back, i missed you.
there's a crises in international policy and industry.
not in population.
personally i wouldn't mind the human race taking a few steps back,
but fewer people would be a negative thing for industry and economy as we see it today in its present form.

I can understand why they're doing it (not saying its morally right though, just saying i understand).

And yes, the world is too damn over populated, and yes, fewer the better (none at all would be best, but thats just being picky...although i haven't got long to wait, humans aren't going to last much longer the rate we're going)
