THE PROBLEMATIC QUESTION: With the death of the nuclear family as an economicall

THE PROBLEMATIC QUESTION:

With the death of the nuclear family as an economically productive necessity, and reproduction under complete control of the female, and in a technological environment where survivability is high, life is long, and overpopulation places extraordinary stress on the planet, does a woman have the right to reproduce at the expense of others, and in particular at the reproductive sacrifice of others?

Like Camus’ first question of philosophy, this is the first question of redistributive government.

(The first question of politics is why don’t I kill you and take your stuff? The first question of philosophy is why don’t you commit suicide?)

Painful question. But one must answer it. Otherwise all redistributive questions are meaningless.
