Large families have an upside. One of my GF had 11 children all but one of whom grew up ok surviving pre war health care and ww2. The aunts and uncles did ok for themselves three becoming millionaires and one a doctor. My GF was not well off but the kids all had a lot of love. |

Medical Science may have improved the childhood or infant mortality rates, but Third World countries are lagging behind. |

I think people need to be educated about the possible effects of continuely increasing the population. It's not good enough to tell people "don't do this or that". You have to tell them why. |

The birth control should be World wide .see stories of family`s having 11=13 children ..doesn't matter what creed, religion it needs sorting, .or is it to late for many parts of the world ? |

if you have enough money in China you can pay a fine for having more than one child |

China has now realised what a mistake the one child policy has been - plus the favouring of a son rather than a daughter |

That was my understanding, Rollo, that the one-child policy had been dropped quite a few years ago. It was the 'old-school high-'ups' in the country areas who refused locals permission to have more than one but it will be interesting to see whether the whole of China falls into line now. |

They have been dropping it for years with 2 in 3 people allowed a second child. Now it is policy. China has had large scale immigration from Africa into south China for a long time but few people have picked up on it. These immigrants are not treated very well. |

The fact that people are living longer than they did years ago is not a bad thing. However, the world's population can't keep on expanding at it's current rate. If limiting the number of children a couple can have isn't the answer, then something else needs to be tried. |

.... has dropped it's one child policy, because they now are desperately short of young people. Any suggestions as to from where they might find replacements? Syria? Afghanistan? .... |
