The chairman of Britain's Sustainable Development Commission announced in a conference that having more than two children is in fact a major cause of earth's destruction. Sir Jonathon Porritt stated that federal funding of birth control and abortions as well as encouraging citizens to recognize their responsibility to take care of the planet. Do you agree with Porritt's statement or is he just shooting into the dark on this subject?

    must start with people taking responsibility for having only the number of children they can support without outside financial assistance.

    should be controlled but i don't think the government should limit how many kids you have
    as long as you take the responsibility to care for them then i think having more than 2 is fine

    If teenagers stop getting pregnant then the problem won't be completely stopped but it sure will help.

    maybe the reason the planet is so bad is because of parents who can't raise their kids right.. how bout that sir porritt? haha

    kinda overpopulated....i mean look at places like NYC. But limiting it to only 2 kids is kinda ridiculous. Maybe a 5 children limit is more realistic...idk 5 still seams like a lot to me

    Is based on the retarded belief that it is unethical to abort a pregnancy. Some people really aren't ready for parenthood, and yet their beliefs, or societies belief wants to prevent them from aborting a child that would most likely end up in foster care to live a shitty life. Quit being so close-minded people.

    i think we just need to stop having so many kids.
    the earth can only substanably hold one billion people.
    right now were almost at seven billion.
    Humans are killing the earth and nobody cares.

    Thats the usual knee-jerk reaction I get from people that arent actually listening or thinking about the issue.

    I never suggested we actively cull the herd...

    wow he is dumb. Study's have shown that volcanoes erupting harms the ozone more then humans ever could. And guess what, that is natural!. So is having kids. Killing off babies isnt going to save the earth. And if by some micle it does it comes with the cost of whatever bit of humanity we have left.

    Try to imagine the housing market in 10, 20, 30 years with a population decline.

    The problem DECLINE is so bad in some first world countries that they are offering generous payouts to couples willing to have any children.

    When the older population successfully limits the young in their desire to have more for themselves - the reply of the younger resentful generation that is left to care for them will be more ugly than the abortive practices of the old. The elderly will suffer that same disregard for human life they themselves taught the young.

    The unwillingness to suffer with the needs of the young through will be visited upon the elderly through forced euthanasia.

    In some of the nordic countries it has already begun. You have to have paid patient advocates sit by your bed in the hospital to prevent yourself from being euthanized by doctors and nurses who willingly decide when the patients have lived long enough.

    needs to be adressed, but perhaps not so drasticly. I think human stralization and birth control should be cheaper and easier to obtain for those who chose it. I think no family should have more than 5 kids tops. any more than that and the parents should be screened for mental instability.( i know 5 kids would drive me beyond crazy)
    5 kids tops parents screened mental instability 5 kids crazy

    sorry i thought i was clear, if a person chooses to have THEMSELVES steralized, it should be cheaper and easier for them to have done. sorry about any confusion there.

    I must believe that anyone who replied "yes" is sincere and therefore has no children or no more than two. If not, you are past due to to spay or neuter yourselves. Make an appt. w/ your doc asap if you haven't already!!!
    The only exception might be illegals...they should be spayed immediately!

    children spay neuter appt doc asap exception illegals spayed immediately
