 Pro  Con Only a dozen countries or so have a growth rate of above 3%, with a vast majority of countries being close to 2% (which is what maintains a current population), or even less then that. Hell some countries are even losing population due to emigration, so we dont need a world-wide one-child-policy policy |

Pro Con "I agree with my opponent when he says some countries population rate is appropriate. however the resources humans need (oil, and food mainly) do not support this growing population" We are aware of this though and we are making progress towards reducing how much oil and other such resources we can use without sacrificing production. Fertilizers, more high tech cars, more efficient factories and power plants, etc all help reduce the amount we consume without driving society into the middle ages or enacting population control. "China which is the country to have this policy has stopped about 300 million births" Because they at the time actually HAD A GROWING PROBLEM..... The US doesnt have a growing problem, nor does Canada, or Brazil, or just about all of Europe either..... Only countries that actually have growing problems should consider the one child policy, dont impose it on all the whole world when only part of it are the ones screwing up. "Eventually we will reach carrying capacity" The carrying capacity though keeps being raised since new techs and all kinds of stuff allow humans to yield more from land and resources then in the past..... The US and europe can double their population and still be reasonably well off, its other countries in Africa and India that are near carrying capacity, not the world "The United Nations indicates that about 850 million people are malnourished or starving" And most of them are in Africa or India living on less then a dollar a day "With 10 billion people projected by 2100, if population control is not enacted many will live in complete misery." YEAH, MANY. NOT ALL THOUGH, THATS THE POINT..... Countries that have a population problem should be the ones instituting such a policy, this shouldnt be imposed on the whole world as you are proposing. |
