World's population is growing every second and researchers have said that the number could reach up to 10 billion in the next 10 years. Even though it is in our nature to mate and reproduce, more people means there will be more demand for food, energy, space, and resources. The problem is that there might sufficient amount of these things to provide for everyone. The controversy lies in the question "How can we curb this growth?" One of the few answers to this question is to adopt a one-child per family policy, which has already been implemented in China. Another idea is to get the government to support policies that aim to reduce fertility rate through contraceptives.
My View:
Like the article stated, it is in our nature to reproduce and mate with one another, so why should anyone tell us to do otherwise? We have the freedom to decided certain things for ourselves, and whether or not we want to have a child is one of them. Women should have the sole right to decide what they want to do to their bodies and how they want to live their lives. The last thing we need is the government telling us when and if we can bear children.
