If my parents had decided to only have two children, I wouldnt even exist right now. I see where your coming from Vegangelica, with the resources barely enough for us now, let alone in the future when the human population will have increased significantly. But seriously, how can you make an argument like this? It is not selfish to have more than two children, parents have all rights to have as many children as they like. The diminishing resources arent the 3rd childs fault, and its not as if todays population isnt searching for new recyclable resources.
