Last year in China hundreds of people ended up killed or missing in a mudslide. Due to this dilemma, China has chose to ease its strict birth control restrictions. Their family planning policy limits urban families only one child. Prior to the incident women had surgery which prevented further pregnancies, yet now the government is offering a free reverse operation. This now gives families who lost their children in the mudslide, an opportunity to fill quotas. I believe that this ease in this policy is very beneficial to the country for the time being considering the extenuating circumstances that the mudslide had caused. However, the policy was in fact created to control a population overload which is a big problem in China. The country can only create so many jobs and resources for its people. Thus there must be a limit placed on how many children each family can have in order for the country to effectively govern and serve their people.
