Coot, are you saying if society did not frown on kids born out of wedlock you would not have married Flora? 
I know several gay and lesbian couples who have children. The women usually have their own eggs fertilized from sperm banks. For gay men it is more complicated and difficult, so they generally have children from prior heterosexual marriages, or they adopt a child. Honestly, I have mixed feelings, and vacillate, about enabling gays to claim the word marriage for their relationships. This is for me a window into my own beliefs. Not sure how I feel about that either.
It was said on BBC the US population will double within the next 100 years. It has also been projected the global population will double in the year 2150 (from the current numbers). Without a major revolution in power production technology we won't survive the next 20 years, Food is going to become a major issue within that time also, but the next world war will probably be fought over water. Aside from war the largest decrease in human population will probably come from a pandemic, or series of pandemics. If you're lucky it won't happen within your lifetime, but I've absolutely no doubt it will happen in mine. For people who are genuinely concerned with global population, pollution, global warming and related issues, especially academicians, these issues are constantly under consideration, so I must assume you are referring to what is or not currently in the mainstream media spotlight when you query, "why has population control not come up?" It has come up, Coot, and sometimes I've heard it, so I KNOW it came up. |
