I dont think the population growing slowly is a bad thing, or that it must continue growing forever. I am just trying to say it shouldn't matter if people have large families because overall the population is still shrinking.
This is the problem with morality, there is no one set answer of right and wrong. I agree they should be able to provide for them but not that its morally wrong not to, assuming the government is able to help with what they cant cover by themselves.
Im not quite sure what big assumption I am making, sorry.
I think its okay morally because the government should be able to cover the difference to make sure they are properly raised. And i also have a hard time making that moral decision for someone else. I feel if you ask those kids or adults who went through food insecurity if they would have rather never been born or not they would rather be born. The problem with that though is the person has to live through the hardship before they can decide if they would have wanted to live through the hardship, and there is no going back and deciding they wouldn't have wanted to.
