For our nation, together with many others, to be pushing for the next birthrate appears to me shortsighted at finest. It’s true {that a} decrease birthrate will trigger preliminary ache and wish for adjustment, however what’s our various? To maintain flooding the Earth with an increasing number of people till there is no such thing as a room or sources left?
It looks as if an enormous Ponzi scheme — to enlarge one technology to pay for the final technology and so forth. When and the place does it cease? I imagine that now’s the time we ought to be holding the road — not rising our birthrate — and inspiring different nations to do the identical.
