In the very near future, if not already, countries must begin to take this seriously, if you look at a graph of population growth over the last 250 years it was pretty steady until about halfway through the 20th century, then it exploded.
Of course no democratic government wants to touch this issue with a barge-poll, any sane person can see why, but how much longer can they ignore it?

It is a thing that does need to be looked at and it is a scary thought as to what will be done if nothing is done soon. What you agree with limiting the amount of children you are allowed to have ? I dont know. I think its a fair idea but then who has the right to say who can give life.
I do think its very silly when I hear of family's with 10+ children. I personally wouldn't think you could give all of them children the care and attention thats needed.
Maybe these war's we are always fighting are humanity's own way of trying to control its population. Intresting thought lol.
