Who gets to decide who has children? And how many?
This is a really dangerous line of thought you are pursuing here. "We need to control population" is a scary thought and I hope this never becomes a serious solution to the problems we have to solve.
Don't worry, there won't be any solution at all, so you can rest easy.
Everyone will resist any attempt to limit their God-given right to reproduce as much as they want, to consume as much as they can afford, and to discard the waste wherever they please.
By the time humans figure out that this attitude is not compatible with a functioning biosphere, it will be far too late.
It’s not so everywhere in the world. I think it’s fair that the ones with the uterus get to decide what they want to do with their body.
Maybe if we start making pod babies that can gestate outside the female human body, it would be a free for all decision to make. I hope someone works on it.
Not married? What you do with your body is kind of the whole deal there, never mind just having kids. Yet the decision about kids is very, very one-sided.
fwiw, i think 'marriage' should be abolished entirely. it is the single most effective and likely the oldest surveillance tool upon the human species since ancient times. i have such a dim view of marriage or rather the need for it...in terms of why it was concocted.
marriage as a man made social construct is the end result of so many undesirables. our world would be a better safer equitable place without it. women, for example..would be free from the tyranny of ownership.
Everyone gets to decide how many children they have...there has to be an universal child tax.
Of course, only those who can afford children should have them. The environment and the commons are for everyone. And there is a cost to bringing new lives and to make sure we have diversity in the gene pool, we ought to have everyone contributing to the gene pool. Otherwise it would just become an inbred mess like we have seen happen with animals and plants. It just makes us weaker as a species.
