How to Reduce the Population

The population is constantly climbing and nothing is being done to stop it. This topic is especially touchy because it is about killing people or not conceiving them in the first place. The most important step we can take to help control human overpopulation is by controlling conception.

Instead of going on a rant killing millions of people it would be better to invest in something that would be placed in the body during infancy that would keep the individual from obtaining an accidental pregnancy, like the IUD used for women. This would still allow the individual to have sex they just couldn't get/get someone else pregnant. Which brings up the question that if only physical females can hold a child would men really need this device? I think not, but if the device can prevent STD's or STI's everyone should have one. If the product does prevent STD's and STI's then it would help people live, so it counteracts the purpose of lowering the population-if this is product is used as a drastic measure if not then it would be better to help people live without the hard ship of getting a disease or infection due to sex.

Another approach is making assisted suisde legal. Instead of wasting resources on an individual who would prefer not to have them, it makes sense to grant them their wish. The down side to this is that most likely there will be a lot of murder cases that will be cleared because the victim "wanted it". With that draw back there would probably be heavy laws around it to protect people, so even if they wanted it, it might take awhile to grant their wish.

I now understand why this topic is so hard to write about, there are so many variables and it is impossible to please everyone.
