| 1. Title: Parenthood: right or privilege? Author: Hardin G Source: Science. July 31, 1970;169(3944):1. Abstract: If parenthood is considered a right, population control is impossible. Since the use of voluntary methods cannot in the long run succeed, other methods are needed. Sterilization is a presently available method that could be used to achieve population control. If women were sterilized after their nth child, the size of the population could be limited. Only when parenthood is considered a privilege, and therefore amenable to restrictions, can there be hope for mankind.
