Former British Government Advisor Applauds World Population Collapse

SYDNEY, Australia, November 22, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - A former
advisor to the British government and past president of the Royal
Society, Professor Lord Robert May, has called "encouraging" the fact
human fertility has fallen below replacement level around the world.

This is absolutely TERRIFIC news if it's true (consider the source).

We really need to get our population down to about three billion, and
birth control is the only way to do it that doesn't involve killing a
lot of people.

Speaking to a meeting of the Lowy Institute in Sydney Australia on
November 19, Lord May was quoted by The Australian saying that human
populations must continue to fall for the sake of the environment. A
priority, he said, was continued "education" of women to teach them
methods to have fewer children through artificial contraception. May
is a former chief scientific adviser to the British government and was
made a companion of the Order of Australia in 1998.

May lashed out at the Catholic Church saying, "In my view, religious
beliefs or other ideological prejudices prompt some major
international organizations to oppose contraception, forbidding
distribution of condoms or even advice about fertility control."

Lord May will likely get his wish if the current situation continues.
Global populations have been falling dramatically and few countries of
the developed world have a fertility rate higher than bare replacement
level. Recent statistics have shown that nearly 40 per cent of the
world's countries have fertility rates from 0 to 2.4 children born per
woman, whereas the bare minimum replacement level is 2.1.

A United Nations report showed in August this year that 28 per cent of
the world's countries allow abortion on demand. 84 per cent of the
wealthier countries allow abortion on eugenic grounds for "foetal
impairment"; 78 per cent allow it on "economic or social" grounds and
84 per cent of wealthy countries allow abortion in cases of rape or
incest.

But not everyone is as sanguine about humanity's impending self-
induced extinction. Mark Steyn wrote last year that the falling
fertility levels in Europe and the formerly Christian west will spell
the end of western civilization. "We are living through a remarkable
period: the self-extinction of the races who, for good or ill, shaped
the modern world," Steyn wrote.

"Much of what we loosely call the Western world will not survive this
century, and much of it will effectively disappear within our
lifetimes, including many if not most Western European
countries....Europe by the end of this century will be a continent
after the neutron bomb: The grand buildings will still be standing,
but the people who built them will be gone."

But Lord May will probably get his wish as more people, at least in
the wealthy post-Christian west, hear the message that more people is
a bad thing. The UK's Daily Mail reports today that British women have
been so completely indoctrinated by the environmentalist anti-human
docrtines that they are foregoing motherhood, including by aborting
their children, "for the planet."

In a bizarre interview with the Daily Mail's Natasha Courtenay-Smith,
35 year-old Toni Vernelli, an environmentalist and vegetarian, said
she had an abortion and had herself sterilized rather than bring a
child into the world.

Toni assured readers that her colleagues at the environmental charity
where she works share her extreme, socially suicidal anti-motherhood
views. She stated, "I didn't like having a termination, but it would
have been immoral to give birth to a child that I felt strongly would
only be a burden to the world."

She said. "I've never felt a twinge of guilt about what I did, and
have honestly never wondered what might have been."

Courtenay-Smith wrote that Toni relished her decision "with an almost
religious zeal". "Having children is selfish. It's all about
maintaining your genetic line at the expense of the planet."

The exceptionally negative environmentalist creed was summed up by
Toni, "Every person who is born uses more food, more water, more land,
more fossil fuels, more trees and produces more rubbish, more
pollution, more greenhouse gases, and adds to the problem of over-
population."

Her husband, she said, agreed with her conviction. "We both
passionately wanted to save the planet - not produce a new life which
would only add to the problem."

become. I just can't. It just makes me sick to think all those years
of supporting this party, and this is what it has become. Even if you
don't like the S-Chip expansion, it is hard to deny what Republicans
are- a bunch of bitter, nasty, petty, snarling, sneering, vicious
thugs, peering through people's windows so they can make fun of their
misfortune.

Former British Government Advisor Applauds World Population Collapse

The Slippery Slope is a fallacy in which a person asserts that some
event must inevitably follow from another without any argument for the
inevitability of the event in question. In most cases, there are a
series of steps or gradations between one event and the one in question
and no reason is given as to why the intervening steps or gradations
will simply be bypassed.

http://www.nizkor.org/features/fallacies/slippery-slope.html

As the population beins to decline signifigantly will people continue to
desire abortions at the same rate with the knowledge that ther numbers
are going down? I mean if there were only a few thousand people left
could many really want abortions?

Not to mention this "collapse" is in terms of decades. We're still
talking hitting 8 or 9 billion by mid-century. At the rate we're going,
the decline won't hit until sometime in the 22nd or 23rd century.

Yeah, let's run around in a panic now...
