It seems reasonable to enforce one-child policy nowadays because we're having a terrible food shortage. We, human sustained our life by carrying out either child-encouraging policy or One-child policy depending on the circumstances we encounter. I think now is the time we should implement One child policy. Side: Good
This is the thing about certain people's debates. They don't put anything in the description leaving it extremely open ended, yet give a 'two-sided' argument. A small description would greatly help direct the flow of the debate. It has its ups and downs. - I'll leave it open ended as how you want to take that. smh. Side: Good

It has preventeed over 400 million births, if China had 400 million people they would not be able to survive due to over population. it has also forced many people in rural areas to urban areas because they can't have more children who were the ones who helped with the farm. China is estimated to build over 30,000 skyscrappers by 2040, which boosts the economy a large amount. That wouldn't happen if the one child policy wasn't created. Without the policy, China could be in deep economic trouble right now Side: Good

I'm assuming that the issue is overpopulation....; where is all the food going to come from? If this is indeed the case, then I have been assured by a very knowing American of my acquaintance in London, that a young healthy child well nursed is at a year old a most delicious, nourishing, and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled; and I make no doubt that it will equally serve in a fricassee or a ragout. http://art-bin.com/art/omodest.html ;) Side: Bad

First of all,not every country has the same "population problem" so the answer to the one child question would depend on the country in question. In Europe the population rate is at a negative growth rate and in the U.S and Canada the birth rate is mildly steady. Enforcing a one child rule in a stable country will not solve overpopulation in the third world,where overpopulation is rampant. Also in places like the middle east, Latin America, Africa and India, large families are a cultural choice.....How would that be enforced without colonization? Very tricky question and quite the slippery slope. Also note that although China's population is improving, the male/female ratio is extremely unbalanced due to high rates of abortion and infanticide of the female gender. As a result China is having some pretty serious issues finding wives for the next generation. Side: Bad
A One-Child policy will in effect eliminate woman from third world countries. Side: Bad

That is only if people kill off their daughters - like they often do in China. They are wanting of a son - if they don't get him, they kill the daughter and try again for a son. Also, wouldn't eliminating the majority of the female population help lower overpopulation? Side: Good

I agree that it very much depends on the country itself. In areas where it is densely populated, one-child policy would definitely do good. However, in areas where there is ageing population, one-child policy would bring nothing but harm to the country. All in all, it is important to keep the country's population stable. This can only be done in two ways - through the influx of foreigners or the citizens themselves. It all depends on the attitudes of the country and how they view foreigners. Side: Bad
