RE: Should the government decide how many children we can have? My opinion
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
I have no issues with Govt making rules and all,how ever, I think they should also express the full reasons why these rules are being made and not limit the scope of human existence with their law.
first I dont think the overpopulation is a problem is a well managed economy that know the value of every human life.
Moreso, proper management at the family and home level also pushes the fear of overpopulation away, hence the problem here may actually be ignorance.

Hello friend, thank you for your comment. I understand that you value human life, and I also have a deep respect for it. That is precisely why I think that even if there were no government intervention, it is difficult to give a single child everything he or she really needs to grow up happy and be a good person, let alone give it to several children. Besides, the truth is that most of us tend to pass on our traumas and emotional problems in one way or another to children, not many people recognize the importance of mental health and therapy. I believe that if we are going to give birth to children who will not be happy, it is better not to conceive them in the first place. It's our (parents') responsibility for all that, not the government.
That's precisely what I am also saying. If a law is gonna go out to state the number of kids to be had by a parent. Then that's good is they will also determine how much to spend on a child, and if those parents are qualified both mentally and adequately furnished to nourish their kids.
Like you said, it is better not to bring forth at all if you don't have plans to keep them. Parent and society which includes the Govt are all hands in hands in the training of a child.
If they don't have what it takes and they bring them here, will there be laws to charge such people.
From my part of the world I don't see how that is going to work.
However, my claim is, when it comes to over population, we need to actually balance it because it is a relative term. Overpopulation is relative to the resources available or something else that belongs to all.
Of course, my friend. And overpopulation is not the central issue here, because it's not the only thing that can influence the future of children.
In my country, at least, a child is unlikely to be taken away from an irresponsible parent, unless the parent seriously injures the child. Which is unfortunate, that it has to get to that point for society to react.
