A census bureau reports that by year 2050, the world's population will grow by 50%. In this article, they state that the rate of reproduction will slow down in spite of high fertility rates in underdeveloped places (such as in India and parts of Africa). Two reasons for this slow down are: women in North America and Europe are having less children, and AIDS is taking its toll on the world's population. The survey also indicates that "there are at least 100 million women in the world's developing countries who would like to space or limit their pregnancies but are not using contraception." So my question is: why not give them condoms? Make them free or charge them a bale of hay or a cow every year. This seems to be a rather simple solution to the spread of babies and the spread of AIDs (not that they should really be mentioned in one breath). It's not just that having babies will increase the human count on an already over-populated planet, but most of these people can't even afford to have kids, let alone five of them. Anyway, that's my two cents.
