The joy of giving birth. This is one of the most important natural rights of human beings. The urge to procreate is the reason that we are here. Taking that right away from humans does not seem to be the proper approach to population control.
Instead, there are more subtle ways to keep poor people from overpopulating the world with their human filth and virtually obliterate famine at the same time.
If people are too poor to care for their children, yet they insist on continuing to have them, then their babies should be their sustenance. Who would go hungry if people can produce their own food?
Its not as if they could feed their children anyway. If they refuse to stop having kids yet remain unable to care for them adequately, then why should the rest of us suffer thier care? Right now, the more kids they have, the less able they are to feed them. If this proposal is approved, then human parents would be assuring the survival of some of thier offspring by sacrificing the ones they couldnt care for anyway.

Approve my proposal and make my dream a reality. We can cut down on the ever expanding population and put an end to world hunger at the same time!

Read Jonathan Swift's A Modest Proposal and then think about it again. Cannibalism IS NOT the best way to solve population and/or humanitarian problems: even forced birth control is better than this. Or forced adoption or free birth control. There are always other ways around it.

Poulation control would not be a problem if your covernment was not corrupt and inefficient.You need to provide for your people, if you cant do this then you have no right to be in power.

Eugenics in any form is oppression.

Hear, hear!

Besides there's very little meat on babies. :twisted:

Some people just shouldn't have children....

Morality aside, the idea of creating babies to eat them is ridiculous. Do you know how much a mother eats during gestation to allow for the growth of the child? That aside, the most human meat is on adults, not children, and that means 18 years of feeding.

Very inefficient, Corinto suggests free birth control and progressive agricultural techniques instead.

How many times will I have to say this....

BABIES DON'T TASTE GOOD!!!!

morality is fiction.

its a cop out that people use when they cant defend their own argument.

just support the damn thing.

what harm could getting a vote on it do?

hmm. I dunno. the romans used to accuse early christians of eating babies, and look where they are now, on street corners telling people to hear the word! Do we really want to end up like that? :wink:
