The world is overpopulated, and responsible people know this, so they should not reproduce.

Oh dear, I am extremely sorry. That will teach me not to take on 8 debates at a time. Please give my opponent conduct.Rebuttals"This falsely equates population increase with overpopulation. It equates a trend (population increase) with a snapshot (overpopulation). And, most importantly, it totally ignores the fact that overpopulation is not defined as a trend, and it is not even defined solely as population density, but rather as the population density that exceeds the environment's carrying capacity." Let's look at the definition of overpopulate. o·ver·pop·u·late   [oh-ver-pop-yuh-leyt] Show IPA verb (used with object), -lat·ed, -lat·ing. to fill with an excessive number of people, straining available resources and facilities: Expanding industry has overpopulated the western suburbs.As you see, you do not have to exceed the environment's carrying capacity to overpopulate, but straining the resources overpopulates. Acording to a research topic, two-thirds of the world's resources are used up, straining the resources. Thus, I have proved my first Burden, The world is overpopulated."Considering that every region has a different environment (climate, resources), a different population density, different agricultural practices, and yields, and that environmental management and population conditions vary by region, we can see that overpopulation is a regional, and even sub-regional, phenomenon. The same population density can be sustained (carried) in a specific environment while it is not sustainable in another environment."Although overpopulation is regional, the regions are big. The regions that are not overpopulated usually have few resources, for example, Russia. Again, two-thirds of the world's resources are used up."Asking people from a non-overpopulated region to stop reproducing, mind you, not even to reproduce below replacement level but to flat out STOP reproducing, will not solve overpopulation problems in another region. Asking people to stop reproducing creates population ageing, which brings about another series of problems. You do not ask a person who has one foot in a bucket of boiling water to correct the situation by putting their other foot in a bucket of icy water. Overpopulation has to be corrected in the affected region." I have never mentioned that people should be asked to solve overpopulation in anoher region. We are looking at this as an worldwide problem. Besides, people can adopt children from different regions of the world. If all responsible people from around the world adopt, preferably from overpopulated regions, then not only would it solve the problem of homeless children, but would also lower the population. If responsible people stop reproducing, it would not end the human species because many people are not responsible."Adoption will not solve overpopulation in problem areas. It only applies to unwanted children, and even then, mass adoptions of orphans are not feasible due to legal regulations. Besides, international organizations advise, and set as a priority, for children to stay within their communities, their ethnic group and their cultures. Adoption is a measure that yields minimal results, and any desire to expedite it, or increase its scope can produce children trafficking, and other human rights violations. The issues with "cowboy adoptions" in Haiti after the earthquake are a case in point."Adoption is a very good method. According to the American Pregnancy Association, adoption,Potential Benefits for the Birthmother: Housing assistance may be available Counseling and support The opportunity to accomplish specific goals whether educational, travel, or career The opportunity to enable the dreams you have for your child to come true Prenatal and delivery expenses paid as needed A better choice of doctors and staff The opportunity to choose a family for your child that you like, and the chance to get to know them personally A support group of birth mothers with whom you can share experiences Access by other members of your family to counseling and support services Paid legal expenses and attorney fees The unique opportunity to bring happiness and joy to others The peace and satisfaction that come from knowing that the adoptive parents understand that you love your baby enough to insure his or her well-being Benefits for the Child: The love and support of adoptive parents who are emotionally and financially able to parent A desirable home and family life A two parent home that might also include brothers and sisters Resources and provisions that might not otherwise ever have been available The chance for better education Benefits for the Adoptive Family: The joy and blessing of adding a child to their family Opportunity to go learn about pregnancy and related experiences to the extent that might not otherwise be possible Ability to fulfill the dream of raising a child "The population density of Netherlands and India are very similar, but it is India the one that is overpopulated, suffering from massive environmental deterioration. If a Dutch family decides not to reproduce and adopt instead, it will have no impact on India’s overpopulation. As a matter of fact, Netherlands has had a below-replacement fertility rate for years, and India keeps being overpopulated."But if people from India adopt instead, then it would solve the problem. Besides, who said that people from Netherlands couldn't adopt a child from India?"To correct the two elements of overpopulation: density and environment, there needs to be a change in population and economic policies, and environmental management, in the affected area, not in overpopulation-free areas."Extend arguments.ConclusionMy opponent has conceded that responsible people know about the population. I have proved that,1. The world is overpopulated.2. Responsible people know about this and take action.3. Adoption is good and will solve overpopulation.Although give Conduct to Con, I urge a Pro vote. Arguments-I have proven my point.
