In the 1960’s the world population was at 3 billion, and in 1999 the worlds population was at 6 billion. In less than 40 years the population has doubled. If the population growth rate is not reduced further, world population will double by the year 2040. This growing global population affects the welfare of communities and ecosystems around the world. The increase of population creates a threat to the whole world. As more people come into the world more jobs are needed, more housing, and more food. The increase of need for natural resources and economic growth has caused a stress on the world to uphold its rising population. In China, one can witness the one-child policy that has decreased the size of its original birth rate. However, there has been strong moral opposition to this policy. The moral objections arise from the involuntarily sterilization, yet these objections come from the idea that fertility is a fundamental human right which cannot be sacrificed. There does exist a real possibility for us to learn to control accurately, reliably and humanely on our own population size. This possibility is through Population Control.
In these poor developing countries many people are suffering. Maternal and child deaths in developing countries are unacceptably high. Every minute of every day, a woman dies in pregnancy or childbirth and some 20 children die of largely preventable causes. And many more women are left ill or disabled by complications in pregnancy and delivery. The conditions of living are largely unacceptable, and have caused a great deal of suffering for the citizens. If the government were to take control of a the situation, as Population growth does, the situation could be controlled. Doctors who are well educated and skilled could sterilize the woman to stop the ongoing problems. Throughout history a cycle can be seen, the woman in developing countries are forced to have children and then these children have more children, and so on. The conditions never progress and the poverty continues.
