China over PopulationEssay Preview: China over PopulationReport this essay“Over-Population Doesnt Justify Disregard for Human Life”- anonymous. The question proposed is, does the Chinese population control policy violate human rights? This is very controversial issue. There are many different views on this subject. By some its seen as a successful tool for making certain that China will be able to continue to support its large population. Others believe the policy is inhumane and causes abuses and female infanticide. Is China going about this problem the right way?
The slogan of the initial population control program is “Later, Longer, Fewer.” The one child policy is not officially a law. Its more of a “way of life”. China cant punish couples for having more then one child because its not a law. So they provide motivation, such as extra salary or larger houses for couples that pledge to have just one child. If you did become pregnant and you agreed to give up your child the government would pay for abortions. A woman who had an abortion was rewarded with a paid vacation. Chinas policy pushes later marriages, postponing children, fewer and healthier births, and they encourage couples to only have one child. Figures show that the policy has reduced Chinas population by 250 million, isnt this good?
If you only have one child, you can provide more to that child. The child can have a better life. Lu Zhufeng, a 20 year-old medical student said, “If I have one child it will be raised better. It will have more opportunities, and my career is the most important thing. I really want to excel at it.” Mothers used to stay home and take care of the children but with one child it isnt much work. With fewer children it will free up the mothers time so instead of caring for more then one child the mother has more time to go into the work force.
On the other point of view, some people might argue that the “one child policy” is a violation of human rights. Most Chinese families prefer male children to female children. The reason for this is the men are stronger and will be able to take care of them in their old age. However, if they have a female, she will have to get married and the parents will have to provide a dowry. As a result to this boy demand and since you can only have one child, if the female has a girl they might kill the infant, Hundreds are being drowned, smothered, and abandoned. The couple may try again for a male. One example of this is the story of Mei-ming , “no-name”. At the age of two, she was tied to a chair, soaked in her urine, with dried mucus all over her nose and eyes, dying
Many of the boys that are currently in the school were told their parents wouldn’t care if the mother were killed, with at least one parent having her blood on her clothes.
A few hundred thousand families that live in the eastern half of China have a women’s health policy, no matter what your social status.
The women’s health policy was introduced as a way of preventing premature and unhealthy pregnancies. Since the policy was introduced there has been about 150 cases of premature, unhealthy, or sexually transmitted pregnancy, and the number of cases may rise in the future.

It’s a shame the family with children in this country can not get the aid of family doctors, family services, a hospital, or doctors and hospitals in accordance with the laws of the other country. When the children become mature, their parents may start to look upon them, but not in their parents’ eyes.
As it is with every single issue, it’s worth considering the pros and cons of the child-bearing policy, as it is still in effect today.
There aren’t many children born with or without a male. Some families have male children with an existing wife and one daughter. I want to mention the most common reasons for male women to not have an infant.
. I am a dad who will give up the ‘incompetent wife’ in favor of an active wife, an active boy. It’s sad to think what might happen to a child because I really would support having one more man in my life.” The reason is simple: my husband has been doing some work as a doctor. We started together in a high-stress environment. It was only about ten years ago when I met a girl that he married. There are a number of reasons why he would choose a female child.
For the last 5 years, all parents in China have been giving their children as infants. This policy has only really been used by children of high-schools, since then only 2% of the Chinese girls are being adopted in their families, so the majority have already got a husband in the future.
“We have done this while young and we did it as teenagers. We had many children in our lifetime, but still in the early twenties the women’s decision was clear. Parents want to save these children to their child. The family doctors have to support the young daughter by giving her the food
