Such a remedy will raise the food prices, which, in the short term, we rich can pay, but at the expense of denying equitable access to food by the poor of the world. Food deprivation will kill many, but not on a stewardship basis. The poor will starve and not procreate for the benefit of the rich who will. This is globally politically intolerable as well as marginally unethical. A more thoughtful approach including exhortation, contraception, tax incentives and child surrogacy seem more attractive and effective.<br /><br />Just an initial thought.<br /><br />LarryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
