A compelling argument for the morality of limitations on procreation in lessening the harmful environmental effects of unchecked population
We live in a world where a burgeoning global population has started to have a major and destructive environmental impact. The results, including climate change and the struggle for limited resources, appear to be inevitable aspects of a difficult future. Mandatory population control might be a possible last resort to combat this problem, but is also a potentially immoral and undesirable violation of human rights. Since so many view procreation as an essential component of the right to personal happiness and autonomy, the dominant view remains that the government does not have the right to impose these restrictions on its own citizens, for the sake of future people who have yet to exist.
Sarah Conly is first to make the contentious argument that not only is it wrong to have more than one child in the face of such concerns, we do not even retain the right to do so. In One Child, Conly argues that autonomy and personal rights are not unlimited, especially if one's body may cause harm to anyone, and that the government has a moral obligation to protect both current and future citizens. Conly gives readers a thought-provoking and accessible exposure to the problem of population growth and develops a credible view of what our moral obligations really are, to generations present and future.

На Земле живут семь миллиардов человек. Ресурсы планеты истощаются. По словам преподавателя философии Сары Конли, конфликты из-за продовольствия, земли и ископаемых ресурсов в ближайшем будущем неизбежны. Она утверждает, что только ограничение рождаемости может уменьшить негативные последствия перенаселенности. Автор книги не боится вступить в полемику, ведь даже робкое предложение ограничить численный состав семьи воспринимается большинством людей как посягательство на одно из их основных прав. По мнению автора, охраны окружающей среды и сокращения потребления недостаточно. Конли полагает, что добровольное самоограничение, информирование и доступность контрацепции могут привести к желаемому сокращению населения. Однако она не отвергает и возможности принудительных ограничений со стороны государства. Возможность иметь более одного ребенка, как утверждает автор, не является неотъемлемым правом человека. Книга представляет собой серьезный академический труд, который не нуждается в занимательных примерах и адресован подготовленному читателю. Как ни странно, автор уделяет мало внимания опыту Китая, недавно серьезно пересмотревшего свою политику одного ребенка в семье. Сохраняя нейтральную позицию в политических и других спорных вопросах, getAbstract рекомендует книгу Сары Конли читателям за смелость в исследовании непопулярного способа решения назревшей проблемы

"Sarah Conly argues that we do not have the right to have more than one child. If recent increases in global population continue, we will reduce the welfare of future generations to unacceptable levels. We do no't have a right to impose on others in this way.
