More Isn't Better

Our species is too sensitive. We have accustomed ourselves to this lifestyle, which is to be expected, but we have completely lost any ounce of natural instinct that we once possessed. We must hope that one day the worlds' electricity does not run out, that some worldwide disaster does not occur that leaves us in nothing. Of course, we're smart, so we might go hunting, catch an animal to eat- oh yeah. That's right. What animals? Do we really think that all the animals in the world would feed us? I mean seeing as we are the most populated species in the world. We should all just pray it never comes to that.

The human population of the world is over a staggering 7 billion. In the States alone, one person is born every sixteen seconds. Our population is increasing in the mere minutes that you are reading this. That blows my mind. It also concerns me how much faster we are growing than the other species in the world.




I used to be absolutely, close mindedly against abortion. But I have to say, I've changed my mind. When an animal gives birth, no matter what the species, it is extremely rare that all of its babies survive. Taking sea turtles as an example, only about 1 in 4000 sea turtles survive to adulthood!
So don't you think that we are being over ambitious, or going against nature in thinking that each child we have will live? I understand that we invest allot more money into our children before they are born than the average wolf, for say, does. But we need to reroute ourselves back to our natural way of doing things. Yes it is absolutely heart-wrenching when your child dies, before or after birth. But this is not the end of the world, and may even extend the life of the world in a sense. I'm simply saying that if you are a 16 year old girl, who doesn't have the money to take care of a child, doesn't have the recommended support, cannot finish her education, is dependent on drugs, etc. abortion may not be the wrong choice. Our world is way overpopulated, so I would steer anyone I could away from giving birth to children they can't care for and from having "19 kids and counting". This is ruining the world as we know it.




Yes, we have lots of problems (air pollution, water contamination, habitat loss, infection, disease, poverty, famine, species loss, etc), but this would be significantly decreased if we didn't have so many people! 102 people die around the world each minute, but 255 babies are born per minute. That is more than twice the rate that people die. Our world is expanding faster than we can manage.



More people = more housing = more wood = less trees = more greenhouse gases = faster depletion of the ozone layer = increased speed of global warming = more habitat loss = more species extinct = less plants for animals to eat = decreased population of animals = less food for us to eat = loss of the human race.

If we could use more condoms, and have less kids, not only would allot of people have more money, but the world might slowly be able to get back on its feet. We need to stop this as soon as possible. Somehow we can accept cruel acts towards animals for entertainment, but all hell breaks loose when a baby dies. And yes, it's sad, but the results of overpopulation will be even worse.
