Thread: Is it our moral duty to voluntarily not breed?

Now I'm no scientist expert or anything but I do suggest that it is jumping to a wild conclusion to say that breeding is the cause of problems. I think it's more complex than that. Fewer people does not mean better lifestyle. A large percentage of the world's land is not even inhabited. If you have ever taken a flight on a plane and looked out the window you can see just how much land is not being used at all. I suggest that it is the way people live their life that is the problem. Not how much room there is or what resources are available.

Don't worry, John P. Holdren (senior advisor to President Barack Obama on science and technology) and his kooks already have a plan to exterminate you without you having to worry about this issue.

Breeding can cause misfortunes of nature.

We aren't overpopulated yet. There's no reason to shout about overpopulation when no such thing exists on a global scale.
And some people seem to forget about wars. Personally I don't believe the Earth will ever get overpopulated - it'll just keep going in a civilization - war - ruins - civilization cycle. And even wars which do not result in complete devastation of society still kill millions of people. The last one of these that Europe really remembers is the Second World War, which was barely a lifetime ago. There will be more wars everywhere, and there's nothing John Lennon hippie types can do about it.
So humans will just keep on naturally culling their own numbers. It's fine. Meanwhile, it would be silly to miss out on the joys of having children.

The children born as natives to western nations in Europe are actually the ones that can support a large population, so if you have a high IQ or successful you should be encouraged to breed. Those who are in jail, have a low IQ, or otherwise have bad genetics should not breed. We see sort of the reverse happening, which is why we have an "overpopulation" problem. Theres a woman with 8 children in Britain who is on welfare, and wants two more children so she can receive more welfare. You can obviously tell this is not the way a government should be. We should not be encourage people who leech off of welfare to leech even more off of the government. If you are defending this than you are utterly retarded and your government would collapse faster than queen latifah sitting on a hastily put together wooden chair.
