A recent forecast by researchers says that even if world over people follow one-child policy the total population would be 5-10 billion by 2100. Now that takes into consideration major catastrophe and even a First World War and Second World War combined.
Are we so selfish to only take care of our children? What about generations after them? Do we care?
Who is going to feed these mouths? You will ask who cares if I have one or lets say four kids. Well, you may be well off to feed them, but aren't you taking away some portion from the deserving? The downtrodden..the weak and hungry.
Considering the Knanaya community here, the church wants as many progeny as possible. I understand that their numbers are few. Forget them, my own mother says it would be nice if I have 4 kids!!
Some see our world as a boat where you can only take a limited passengers. If you take too many the boat may capsize. That means help only few who have the energy to shout out. Let others who have no voice allowed to be drowned. hmm...strange.
