Our planet is overpopulated. We're depleting resources, water is slowly starting to become one of those things we might have to start a war over in 50 years, thousands of children ranging in all ages are in foster homes (in the USA alone). We're growing at an enormous speed. Right now there are almost 7 billion of us on this planet and with the constant advances in medical science people stay alive longer and longer.

Governments are dealing with problems like global warming, the financial crisis. We're fighting wars that have no meaning, fight each other over money and resources. Why are we not paying attention to the biggest problem currently in existence? Over population!

China is dealing with this already. There you can only have 1 child per household and it's done wonders for population control and health care. What if we took it a step further?

What would happen if a worldwide breeding restriction was implemented for 15 years? How much would the world population decrease and would it help? Or should we follow china and implement a world wide rule that says you can only have one child under certain conditions? Or better yet, need a license/permit to have a child?

Many people believe it's a human right to have a child. I believe it's even included in the actual human rights law. But should it really be a human right? Even if the planet is starting to shatter under the weight of our 7 billion bodies, should we still be allowed to put more of us on here? Because keep in mind, if we keep this up there will be no more planet to speak off in a few hundred years.

What is your opinion on the current over-population of our planet? How do you propose we fight the problem?
