flamingjimmy Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 According to the latest government census the majority of the population was in favour of the policy , and if a population can not feed its self then it makes sense for the majority to forcibly stop the minority from making the situation worse than it already is. Surely it is better to cut the number of child births than to allow children to be born into poverty and starvation, overpopulation has some very serious consequences. 1stly, I don't believe you, please show me the figures. 2ndly, even if they are correct, democracy is not the same as mob rule. People can't take away other people's freedoms and rights just because the majority want it. In a democracy the rights of individuals must be protected from the 'tyranny of the majority'. Halibut's example is spot on, what if the majority of people voted to have your entire family sterilised? Would that make it ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what if people are in favour of it, that doesn't make it right! Perhaps those people in favour of the policy shouldn't reproduce then if they think the planet is over populated.

Bonzo77 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 So you think humans have the right to do whatever they want when they want to do it no matter the consequences. Did I say that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slugger Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 (edited) Procreation is hard-wired into every living thing on this planet. (we are all born with reproductive organs ) Its all about ensuring life go's on after we expire, the cycle of nature . No amount of human interference will stop this ! Hitler tried and failed with his brutal Ideas. It appears that people on here who agree with limiting the less fortunate people to not having children, must consider themselves superior otherwise they wouldn't spout such s***, whilst they consider themselves perfectly adequate to do what others shouldn't ! Controversially, would the Jewish communities agree to the ideologist comments on here ? Nature is the most powerful thing on Earth and some of the Ideas on here will never prevail, because nature is nature and life will go on whether we are superior or inferior.

Government already take people's freedoms away for the grater good of society. ---------- Post added 05-01-2015 at 18:30 ---------- So what if people are in favour of it, that doesn't make it right!

Perhaps the people that want to breed should support themselves instead of expecting handouts from people that do not want to support their inconsiderate breeding rate.

Ok, so what if soceity decided, by means of a poll of some sort, that it would be to all our benefit , and would serve the greater good, if your entire family was sterilised forcibly. Would it then be ok to do so? I don't think it would, but I'd like to know whether you're consistent with your viewpoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anfisa Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Did I say that? Yes, unless you mean humans should have the right to do the things only you think they should have the right to do, either people are free to do as they like or they are not free to do as they like. ---------- Post added 05-01-2015 at 18:35 ---------- Procreation is hard-wired into every living thing on this planet.

Human interference will ensure our destruction, nature as a way of controlling population growth, but human interference is giving us the temporary means to overpopulate the planet. ---------- Post added 05-01-2015 at 18:45 ---------- Ok, so what if soceity decided, by means of a poll of some sort, that it would be to all our benefit , and would serve the greater good, if your entire family was sterilised forcibly.

If society decided that for the greater good of society no one should have more than one child and the same policy was applied to everyone equally then no I would not have an issue with it.
