Should we control the growth of our population? And if so, who should refrain from having children?

Though I might sound harsh, anyone who is not able to afford their kids , shouldn't be having them. Social assistance is great but when a person raises their kids on it as their main sourse of income , it's not right. We don't have the right to say who can or can't have kids but we do have the right to use common sense before we have them.

Also people who have serious genetic problems shouldn't have kids due to the fact that the kids will end up being a burden on society .

Is the question. How can one person be denied over another? How can accidental pregnancies be avoided or even determined?

Would compulsory abortions be required? Maybe there could be the requirement to hold a license to prove you are able to financially support a child although again circumstances can change and what would be the measure.

I can see no real solution other than one of two extremes - education or dictatorship. Anything in between would be contentious.

I agree with the person who answered that anyone who cannot AFFORD to raise a child should not be permitted to have one. It seems anymore that more people live on government assistance than don't.

Since this is a hypothetical question, issues relating to politics (i.e. Dictatorship status) are moot.

People under the age of 25 should not have children, because they are not mentally or emotionally mature enough to comprehend what it means to give up your priorities for at least 18 years and place someone else's needs above your own.

People who are already on government assistance should not be permitted to have children.

People who have more than child by more than one parent should not be allowed to have another child by yet another person.

People who have EVER had an abortion should not be allowed to have children. They should've given it up for adoption so someone who couldn't have kids could have given it a good home and a good life.

People who cannot successfully demonstrate that they are capable of existing as responsible, independent adults should not be permitted to have children. (This includes people who still live with mommy and daddy for whatever reason. ).

People who have terminal diseases with a remaining lifespan of less than 20 years should not be permitted to have children,, because a CHILD should not have to lose a parent.

People who have been in a relationship with each other for less than THREE YEARS should not be permitted to have children.

People who have ever been convicted of sexual offenses against a child should not be permitted to have children.

I guess I could go on...but there you go. Food for thought.

For the protection of the world- weather we are conducting Copenhagen Green House Gas conference. For preventing nuclear holocaust, we are thinking through UN to formulate non-proliferation treaty. But what is about over population, the effect of which is going to destroy the pleasure and beauty of the world.

For a disciplined happy family, the family require an estimated budget of expenditure, and a limited number of family members. Similarly a happy universe require equal-distribution of wealth and a control of population region wise that might be by moral teachings if failed by uniform enforcement of law.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
