The Touchy Subject of Population Control (Zane Mandell)

Discussion on today’s topic really seemed to flourish among many of the students. I am personally very passionate about this subject and was glad to have received the passage that Mr. Shapiro gave me. But let’s get to the point: While it may seem immoral to institute any policy for population control right now, it is actually immoral not to. If we do not do something about the rapid growth of the population then we will make the planet unlivable. We will have drawn too much from the earth, as there are too many mouths to feed. Efficiency is of utmost priority in any format. If the ‘machine’ inefficient it serves no purpose. A purposeless ‘machine’ is then discarded. While it may seem against everything we have learned it is this that will be the toughest choice the human race ever will have to make. To we allow ourselves to descend to the point of no return, or do we take steps that secure the preservation of our species. It is really that simple, what is more important, right now or the future?
