| numonex said: 1 child policy is excellent. The world is over populated and non-renewable resources are running out. With a one child policy the gender of the child can be selected. Males out number females in China by a wide margin and the gap is expected to widen over time as most families select male child ahead of female child. Human population is controlled by One child policy, non renewable resources can last longer and the damage caused to the environment can be slowed down by controlling human populations. Plant and animal numbers are declining every day, 1000s of species or flora and fauna become extinct every day primarily due to the consequences of human activities. |
No, it's a horrible travesty against human rights. The world has a LONG way to go before it is overpopulated, and we can learn to make do without renewable recources. With a one child policy Males tend to be favored because they are more likely to be able to support thier elders, they are stronger, they make good worriors, and in many cultures, they are seen as good luck. The males outnumbering Females in China is the consequence of the very policy you seem to think will "fix" that issue. This is sheer lunacy, really.
I addresed the falicy of your first two points, but the environmental impact of humans is minimized by highly advanced civilizations, such as the western world, we know how to take care of our environment, third world countries do not, nor do they have the money to. Sadly, the One child policy only enhances the poverty of those forced to live under it due to the lack of a good, plentyful workforce, and the overreaching control of government in those people's lives. Thus environmental care is not a top priority in those countries, nor will it ever be. Also, you are greatly exaggerating the effect humans have on the environment.
As a question that is related to my last point, do you believe in Evolution?
"with great power, comes great responsibility."
