Octomom vs. China's One Child Policy...

You would probably call Octomom obsessed and China's Policy against human rights. I too had similar thoughts, especially about the woman who gave birth to 8 children even though she had 6 before. But when I thought about that one- child policy in China that confused me and made me think about which one to vote for. Eventually I ended up leaning towards China's policy but also toward the Octomom. Somewhere in the middle, I concluded with this by thinking of the resources you would need to raise that many children and of how human rights come upon this discussion. The point was brought up that human rights can be for both Octomom and China's one child policy, as child rights state that children should have the right to have enough resources to have a healthy life and human rights where every human should have the right to choose how many children they want. But you shouldn't have a dozen kids and expect to have an easy life with your children having a great future unless you have enough money to educate them, and take care of their needs. So if you have 5 to 6 children you will still have problems but don't have more if you know that you will have trouble affording them and if you are smart enough you will make the right choices (hopefully).
