Hey-what could possibly be wrong with that?
"...Singer compared women’s right to bear children to the traditional
villager’s right to graze their cows on “common” grounds. As the
villagers get more affluent and their cows die less from disease, he
said, until the commons are overgrazed, “yields are falling... and
that’s a road to disaster.”
“Turns out that the right to graze as many cows as you like on the
common was not an absolute right,” said Singer. “Obviously this is what I
think we ought to be saying even about how many children we have… I
hope we don’t get to a point where we do have to override it… but I don’t think we ought to shrink away from considering that as a possibility.”
