Opinion: A Word On Today's Society

[Fenrin]

[...]
As for overpopulation, personally I'd like to see birth control readily and universally available. I have kids myself, and I really wish that every child born was wanted and welcomed into the world.

overpopulation is a issue because most of our world societies and marcets are based on consumption and economic growth.

Birth control mustn't be enforced if a raising amount of people becomes sterile. Let any huge agricultural biotechnology corporation develop a pesticide or genmodified plant which makes us all sterile, and the overpopulation issue would be soon solved
But I would prefer if somehow magically our societies were not nearly based as much on consumption and exploitation as today. Not realistic that this happens in the near future though; the former scenario is more realistic.

Birth control mustn't be enforced [...]

Birth control being enforced and being available are two very different things. It should definitely be universally available. Preferably paired with proper sex education.

ups, I misunderstood phred14 before; I should read more carefully next time.

I associated Chinas one-child policy with birth control; not contraceptives.

Aren't those the same thing?
