Ethical Essay

Although I do think that there is something to be said about the country of China, I could not imagine being given the limit on the amount of children you can have. I do feel that are natural resources need to be conserved and maintained, I cannot see how anyone would have control over who can or cannot have children. For me, I wish people could take it upon themselves to limit the amount of children they have, even if they have plenty of money. There are always going to be people in this world that will want to have 6 children, and not to say that I feel that it is "right", I am not the person to tell them that they are wrong for wanting that. Unfortunately our natural resources are depleting faster then we can produce them and perhaps there are others things to be considered over how many children families have. Maybe we need to look more into farm land conservation for growing and build homes and develop on "dead" soil... I feel that just because China is unbelievably overpopulated doesn't mean they have the wrong way of life, the US will get there eventually and then do we really think that all Americans will be on board with a limit on children? I think not... I think it is all together too easy for people to tell others how they should live their lives, but when the table is turned people tend to get offended and completely hate the idea.
