Hmm, Javan Melody Jeow told me something about his lecturer; to ease ageing population,
a couple should have 3 or more kids. But now theres only like 1 kid per couple,
so another alternative is to have 3 wives then! (Something like that)
Hmm, but technically speaking, we can tackle Ageing population from the side. Instead of increase the population of the younger generation,
why not the aged die earlier?
/Morally wrong but could be a solution what. XD
aged die earlier how do you intend to get them to die hahaha
I have no idea. My morals not screwed enough to think of that. HAHAHAH
because a longer life expectancy shows that we're developed cus of better health and medical care services which are accessible.
polygamy would result in a lot of problems imo. You'll need more females than males in your society right? And a lot of family disputes
would happen as a result. I guess that's why it's illegal in sg...?
haha most people just think that it is morally incorrect to be unfaithful
and if you allow polygamy, most of the time you will have sufficient girls to go around (but yes, to a certain extent, incest)
like the FLDS group if I remembered that acronym correctly. My friend did her TOK presentation on polygamy
Anyway, Polygamy doesnt work still, cos if its say 1 male to 3 females, thats 3 childs, its still not replacing. Thats just plain
Not being moralizing here or anything, but on a side note I think the idea of letting the elderly expire earlier can only be achieved in a
dystopian society. We are unable to carry it out now because the notion of having dreams/goals/ambitions + the right to control how you want
to live (a basic human right) exists. If such concepts are eliminated from the human consciousness, and we are all made to submit to the
government, then of course we'd be willing to let the authorities cut off our life supply as and when needed. But if you think about it, if
such an age can descend upon us already, then we'd have bigger issues to tackle than just economic welfare... I'm referencing Brave New
Dunno whats Brave New World, but yeah i get what you're trying to say. XD!
Go read up on it, it's a scary projection of the future
