Octomom vs China's one child policy

Today in humanities we wanted to find out which was better having a lot of children or only one. We wrote on sticky notes to show if we agree with the octomom or china's one child policy or if we are in the middle. I was in the middle because a parent should be smart enough to choose how many children they can live, care for and defend until they grow up and live a life of their own. They should know if they have money to care for at least one or two kids. If you don't think you can care for eight then don't. If you have enough money to care for two or more than ask people or look in the internet for advice. If you really want children and you don't want to contribute to over population you can adopt chilren and there will be fewer people and give the orphan a home. The government can encourage the parents to have a limit. About 4-2 will be enough. You don't need a forcefull government just an encouraging one.
