Today in humanities class my teacher had created a continuum. On one side there was the Octo-mom, and on the other side there was the China One-Child Policy. He passed out sticky notes to everyone, and told us to put it somewhere on the continuum and write why we placed it in that particular spot.
Octo-mom----------------------x---------------------One child policy
As you may have guessed, based on my previous post, I don't agree with either of them. It was required to put it somewhere, so I placed it right in the middle. I don't think they have created an effective solution because there should definitely be a balance.
In my previous post I talked about how I felt about the Octo-mom. She doesn’t have the financial ability to care for all her children properly.
In the post before that, I wrote that I felt as if the One Child Policy in China was unjust, because it is against human rights, and everyone should have a free will.
In my previous post I also mentioned that instead of restricting the amount of children, or allowing people to have fourteen, the government should educate people on the realistic problems they might face if they have children. It would be good if it was a mandatory course for young adults or even teens. They should learn about the pros and cons before making a decision that could throw their own and their children’s lives in the gutter.
One of the reasons that I feel the Octo-mom’s situation was out of hand was because she got a bit out of control with artificial reproduction. The doctor should have learnt about her past and ensured that she went through counseling and determining if having more children was fair. They needed to know whether or not she was considering the fate of her other six children.
I noticed that the one child policy in China is mainly used in the cities of China instead of the villages. That is why the population is still so big. Instead of restricting the rural areas from the birth education, they should also include them and educate them too.
Restricting the amount of child birth or allowing people to go, well, overboard are both not the answer. We need to educate people of all nationalities about the after effects of child birth.
