I would rather see a poor country being shoved with birth control and being told to curb their overpopulation, than to see kids, babies, and adults starving to death and living in miserable conditions all because people keep birthing children into a world with limited and dwindling resources. As you can probably guess, I support euthanasia, because I don’t want to see people suffering needlessly or in extreme pain.

We can keep giving food/aid/care to people in desperate countries, but that will not prevent the true problem, which is overpopulation, it will only temporarily help at the cost of losing more resources even faster.

We should have capped the population of the world a long time ago to a reasonable number. More people = more fossil fuels used and more pollution thrown into the air = bigger global warming problem. World leaders either are apathetic or too wealthy to care about the fate of the general population. Nobody is stupid/idealistic enough to believe that we can keep pulling resources out of our asses or thin air to maintain a constantly growing world population. Simple economics tells you that everything is limited.

I agree – but we are talking about a relatively small percentage of the population that knows about climate change and/or cares about the environment. And for them, morality doesn’t play a role.

With Bush going around the world pushing abstinence only programs, we have a long way to go on this.

No, governments should not regulate our reproduction. But our own sense of morality and social responsibility should. And as Maria indicated, that won’t happen as long as we’re afraid to talk straight to our kids about sex and responsibility.
