Should we Limit or Stop Having Children.
BBC Radio3 is having a debate about it. What do you think? Are there too many of us? What's your opinion?

Re: Should we Limit or Stop Having Children.
In some countries where a boy is the desired choice of offspring, newborn girls are killed or were aborted.This could be the result if limits were placed.
Yet on the other hand I resent tax dollars given to single women who choose to procreate producing a kid a year to up the payout.

I have no objection to people having as many children as they want - as long as they can afford to feed, clothe, house and take full responsibility for them.
I do object to my taxes paying for other's illegitimate brats.

I'm amazed they dare say this with the population explosion as it is...total speculation and day dreams.

UK birth rate: Number of children being born in Britain hits 10-year lowhttp://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk...-a8066101.html
Although the population is still growing overall – there were 597,206 deaths recorded – the new data show the demographic decline in certain parts of the UK such as Scotland where there were 54,488 live births and 56,728 deaths.
This is at the lowest point since 2006 when 55,690 babies were born – and 55,093 deaths – with the rate peaking in 2008 at 60,041 live births compared to 55,700 deaths.

Re: Should we Limit or Stop Having Children.
I think this applies to most of Europe. Also OECD countries generally. Not much we can do about the others except by encouragement and advice where applicable.Generally the more children a country can afford, the fewer it has. Where women have a genuinely free choice (and it does depend on women's choices) they usually choose to have fewer children anyway.
