Population Control

Chinas population control was successful in limiting the population but, it has now backfired and it is causing China to go back on its One-Child Law and now encouraging citizens to have two children. This has also backfired due to the previous way that China has attacked its citizens when they did enforce the population control law. They did this by forcing abortions, forcing sterilization and due to families wanting a male child, many female children were killed, and this has caused an imbalance of men to women ratio in China. These are just a couple of reasons why families in China went from having large families to have small families. 

I agree to a point, with population control. I agree with making sure not to overpopulate which can cause food shortages, more illness, more carbon emissions causing global warming to happen more rapidly. However, people should not have the right to bear children taken away. As a human species, we are made to want to mate to procreate.  To have that right taken away from our government is not okay. However, when the government stops forcing population control and instead offer incentives to stop having children. This then, in turn, make citizens want to get the benefits of being a one-child family and reap the benefits.  

I think that possibly in the future there will not be a population control problem due to the newer generation of adults not being able to afford children or have decided that children are not their thing. 40-70 years ago, all we were told to do is to get a good job, meet a great spouse and have a ton of children. Now we are living in a time that everything costs more, and we are still making the similar wages they did back then. If these circumstances were to change then, we might end up needing population control in the next couple of hundred years and a lot would need to change in the next 50 years to have forced population control to happen.
