Isn't it the ultimate selfish act to bring a child into the world knowing that they will probably suffer starvation or malnutrition?
Be honest, when you watch the news and they show a family of 9 living in a refugee camp and pleading for food, what goes through your mind?
Is poverty made worse by over-population or do poor people need to breed due to high mortality rates etc...the chicken vs the egg debate...
Countries wth high populations seem to suffer for it in high crime, high mortality and lower quality of life. Is this true?
Will African lives improve only when we cut down on population growth?

Actually the notion that population growth is a cause of poverty is a highly debatable.
