Up to Date - 7/1/2010 Population Control / Weekend To-Do List | ||||||||||||||
|
Are we truly overpopulated or are our resources just not well distributed? Who, if anyone, has the right to decide if population needs to be controlled? What is the impact of too many people on the environment and on the people themselves? China's "one child" policy is probably the best known population control effort of recent times. But, does history reveal any other attempts to control a population? Guest host Laura Ziegler talks with reporter Julia Whitty, author of the recent Mother Jones article "The Last Taboo," Robert Walker, executive vice president of the Population Institute, and Steven W. Mosher, president of the Population Research Institute, about the facts and myths involving population. Then, Brian McTavish of KC Confidential offers five fun and unique things to do in Kansas City this weekend. It's our Weekend To-Do List.
