Whatever happened to "natural selection" of the human species? When people living in harsh lands had little water or less food, it was OK to have a baby every year. And maybe one or two would grow up to have babies of their own. BUT What happens when you "help" to maintain that population with just enough water and food to allow those families to have almost all their babies grow up to have babies? That is a population explosion everyone can understand. Add to that today's medicine and natal care and you have the makings of a future over-population that will one day collapse on itself and take down a few neighboring countries in the process.
Take the Middle East as an example. They are populating exponentially. One country is spending enormous amounts of money they get from oil-sales to get fresh water by de-salting the ocean. Another country has turned the desert into a garden and feeding its population while exporting food. Other countries are importing food - some from oil sales and some from world food banks. There is no rational reason to have such excessive population growth. It is unsustainable and will collapse on itself at some point.
Europe has been reducing its population for decades - BUT with the immigration and the immigrants' continuing to have multiple babies per family, the population is both increasing and politically rushing towards disaster.
South America has had its over-population spurt and will soon be unable to feed itself.
What does this mean for everyone? Possible starvation. Possible no jobs for everyone. Possible a change in the structures of governments. Does any of this sound good to you?
That is why I believe we need to be taking a rational approach to curbing the world's population. Hear that India? Put a condom on it. You cannot feed your population now. India has over 50% unemployment. This is serious. Slow down your population. You are headed towards a major water and food shortage. The world can not and should not rush to your aid. Natural selection is necessary everywhere. It's nature. It's the way the planet works.
If shortage of water or food does not reduce your numbers, then disease or even war will eventually reduce the entire planet's population.
A little thought now will stave off a terrible disaster later. Limit the number of babies per family NOW!
And that's the way I see it...
