Question for 6-22

I believe that expansion of the world population into outer space is outrageous. Although we have increased our technology tremendously, I still believe that there can be something done home before we use those as options. And what if something goes wrong? Are we going to be ready to be held responsible because thousands or millions died because of glitches in technology on the moon or Mars? I don't think so. I believe we should promote more birth control to control the population and also, and if it comes to it, that we should put a cap on the amount of children that can be born from on family. I know that sounds crazy but it would sound reasonable if there was a life or death situation.

According to the UN (www.unpopulation.org), 42 countries have a fertility rate at or above five children per woman. Naturally, the UN expect that number to dramatically increase. The population report also included that the 50 least developed countries in the world, 80% reported that fertility rates were too high. The most popular uses of contraceptives are female sterilization at 21%, intrauterine device at 14%, and the pill at 7%. We've got to get these numbers down.
