Population Control

It is of Mathematical certainty that there will be a point where that amount that man can produce to nourish will not be equal to that in which human beings need to survive. It is with truth that there is only a finite amount of goods that can be grown or produced each year. Should we have the occurrence that there exists more people than food available we run into many dilemmas. 1) Being that starvation of many poorer societies since they will inevitably not have the funds to purchase food; the less food there is with respect to people eating means that the price of food will increase. 2) The increase of death do to starvation will lead to massive amounts of ailments which will over burden our hospitals to the point where medical costs will either shut down hospital or only insure that the wealthiest are taken care of. 3) With lower food shortages the increase of crime (be it theft, murder or any other crime that will lead to the acquisition food) will lead to martial law or a higher percentage of cases between individuals, this will limit our ability to act as a “law and order” society. Ultimately we must see the moral implications of having the population act is such a cruel manner, it is immoral to let people die and to have them revert to barbarism. Thus, it is imperative to limit the growth of people in order to accommodate the food supplies of the people.
