How do you think about "The One child Policy" ?

contraceptives are not 100% effective. what happens if a mothers contraception fails her?

I see. But you still did not answer my questions.

Hi. sid I understand what you said. But the population is very big in our country now. So the government need to take measures to control with it. Besides, some people also can have the second kid for exceptional case. If the family has the only baby, the doctor will advice the parents to take contraceptive method in the future. So you needn't to worry about it.

I recently read an article on this that stated that there is already a problem with their not being enough women for the number of men. You know how the media is though. I was asked if it were true that they got rid of the girl babies and my question got evaded.

Thanks for your response. If you know more about the situation in our country(China), you will understand more about the policy.

What you mentioned is right. As the only child in a family, he/she needs to take care of four parents after he/she gets married, which certainly is a heavy burden both fanancially and mentally. But the "one child policy" isn't all that bad. If a couple had 2 or more kids, they'll have to work very hard to feed the kids and give them good education. There are too many examples about girls been deprived of the opportunity to receive education due to family financial problems. These are sad examples. We've been taught that everyone was born equal, but the truth is girls always have to make sacrifices so that boys can be educated. Were there only one child, perhaps such a sad thing wouldn't happened. One Child Policy is actually a double-edged weapon which brings benefits as well as harmful effects.

If regulations worked in a way that only those needing regulations were regulated, then I'd be more willing to fall on the side of more regulations. Using something common like welfare, for example: this is something in place for the needy, taking money from taxpayers and essentially handing it over to someone else. Hey, good! If someone is needy, I say there's many worse things my tax money can be spent on rather than helping people. But, while the "thought" is still there, I guess, efficiency becomes a whole other issue. We find too often that people abuse the system. It seems like those not in need are able to scam the system and get the money while many people in need are tied up in bureaucracy and can't get what's needed. Once the regulators tangle it up, it becomes nothing but a giant FAIL. Government is the only winner. Maybe some places in the world can run regulations more efficiently, but in the US it would be a FAIL-fest to try and regulate people actually having children (not that I'd want people's freedoms infringed on, mind you, but hypothetically). It's a shame kids are born to abusive and neglectful families. It really is. But a lot of people's answer to a lack of personal responsibility is to create a law that basically limits/regulates/punishes everyone because some people can't wise the F up. For those wishing the United States in particular would pass more laws based on some people's bad choices, they do seem to be coming. Fast food, salt, junk food, soda, etc, are all targeted out in the open, and the "czars'" agenda seems to be to take choice away in news and have a state-controlled media. We'll have to see how far they'll go with people's choices about their children. I remember some talk a while back about having a government employee check out the living situation of every child or something. Some might see that as a good thing. I see that as a scary thing. How you raise your child has to be in-step with how government wants it done. That's not a world I want to live in.

I disagree with what you said. Because you don't know the situation in our country(China). In the past, each family of China at least had two to three kids, and the government didn't intervene it all the time. Now we had 1.3 billion of population. It was 3 times as the people in 1949(China was founded). As we known, population problem is a trouble in all over the world. So the measure of our country is necessary to put into practice. What's more, most of people in our country agree with this policy.

Good for China. I hope that attitude doesn't come to America.
