China is thinking about moving away from its one-child-per-couple restriction. What do you think the pros and cons of this decision would be?

We've discussed this in my environmental biology class quite a bit this semester...it was my understanding they don't have a restriction.  They have incentives for couples who only have one child...specifically if you have one the government pays for all medical care and pays for their education.  If you have more than one all financial incentives are withdrawn.  And considering they're still the most populated country in the world...soon to be passed by India...and since the world as a whole is expected to reach 6.7 billion by this summer...I'd say it's a horrific idea. In fact, I think more nations should offer incentives and i think celebrities like Mel Gibso, Kirk Cameron and Flava Flav should pay steep financial penalties for overpopulating the planet.  In the case of Flava Flav I think it should double because he's passing poor genes onto an unsuspecting generation.  The man is an idiot
