Discussion Question

I truly believe there is no possible solution to the overpopulation problem on Earth except to expand into space. You cannot expect people to limit their children like China does because it goes against too many cultural differences. Catholics do not believe in birth control and that is why they tend to have very large families. This is very prevelant among many of the Hispanics. The only way to establish a population restraint is to abandon the idea of cultural tolerance and become a fascist regime which nobody in their right mind wants. The fact is the population is continuing to grow and land is getting much more scarce. The only solution is to find more land and right now that is either in space or the ocean. Perhaps we can create artificial islands but that would only serve as a temporary solution. Space is our future and we are making strides toward space colonization. I will probably never see it but maybe my grandchildren will raise their children on Mars.
