User2006 wrote....My claim is that because hospitals cure humans, those humans, which are to die and to accept their fate as death. Hospitals are not to exist because it cures people who are meant to be dead. The population thus consists of all the people who are not to be dead + some people who are meant to be dead, and the more the latter value is, the more extra people there are, and that is how overpopulation appears. Because humans value their distinctive groups as much as their collective species and individualism, and humans are the only animal so far that can develop medicine and so on, thus that is how overpopulation is caused.
A hospital is a health care institution
Overpopulation occurs when a species' population exceeds the carrying capacity of its ecological niche. It can result from an increase in births (fertility rate),
a decline in the mortality rate
increase in immigration
an increase in immigration, or an unsustainable biome and depletion of resources. It is possible for very sparsely populated areas to be overpopulated if the area has a meagre or non-existent capability to sustain life (e.g. a desert). Advocates of population moderation cite issues like quality of life, carrying capacity and risk of starvation as a basis to argue against continuing high human population growth and for population decline.
Who Should Be Counted and Where?
You should be counted where you are living and sleeping most of the time as of April 1, 2020. If you are responding for your home, count everyone who lives and sleeps there most of the time as of April 1, 2020. This includes young children, foster children, roommates, and any family members or friends who are living with you, even temporarily. https://2020census.gov/en/ways-to-respond.html?cid=20003:census%202020:sem.ga:p:dm:en:&utm_source=sem.ga&utm_medium=p&utm_campaign=dm:en&utm_content=20003&utm_term=census%202020

Reduced mortality rate, better medical facilities, depletion of precious resources are few of the causes which result in overpopulation. This is a citation straight from a site where when I search overpopulation, it comes up. Prove that it is unreliable.

Better Education: One of the first measures is to implement policies reflecting social change. Educating the masses helps them understand the need to have one or two children at the most. Similarly, education plays a vital role in understanding latest technologies like CloudDesktopOnline that are making huge waves in the world of computing. Families that are facing a hard life and choose to have four or five children should be discouraged. Family planning and efficient birth control can help in women making their own reproductive choices. Open dialogue on abortion and voluntary sterilization should be seen when talking about overpopulation.

These include supervolcano eruptions, forest fires(Late Jan to Feb), viruses(Jan-Now), and even earthquakes and asteroids. These are all ways that unintentionally and unironically balance the human population out. Humans can perfectly sustain if they didn't build facilities for healthcare, that were called hospitals.Hospitals save the people that are supposed to be dead, and these dead people,

THBT: HOSPITALS DIRECTLY CAUSE OVERPOPULATION
PRO1: Hospitals are not to exist because it cures people who are meant to be dead.
CON1:Buildings don't cure people, drs and nurses cure people. overbirth caused by lack of contraception and education is the direct cause of overpopulation
PRO2: Any pop that would have died w/ out hospital intervention count as overpop. Hospital support most births, which even CON says causes overpop
CON2: Adaptation is legitimate strategy, adapted pop is not overpop. Education and contraception would prevent births, with or w/out hospitals
ARGUMENT to CON: PRO needed to define terms up front, particularly what makes a life illegitimately long "meant to be dead" PRO never took on education and contraception argument which was entirely convincing as a root cause.
SOURCES to CON: CON used PRO's sources against PRO- always devastating. PRO offered no citations for R1 then used sources in R2 to were more in agreement w/ CON than PRO
Good engagement on both sides, good topic
Hospitals keep people alive. However, as con points out, this is an indirect cause (I'd say tertiary); with the true cause being poor education (leading to too many pregnancies). Pro uses sources which support this, all but conceding the debate.
Thank you.
GG mate. You have won the debate.
Got all the time in the world mate. Business shut down because of corona virus. Lorry broken down and cant get it fixed because garage it is under warranty at is shut down until farther notice. Customers are going off their heads phoning me and complaining but i am not responding...What was that we were discussing? Oh yes, suicide pacts....Well why not? Yes, good idea.
Because I don't support suicide pacts, why don't you present an argument against the alternate me that supports suicide pacts in the comment section, if you have time to?
To be fair, I had never even thought of this in relation to suicide pacts. In fact, I hadn't thought about suicide pacts before.
Darn. Wish you had told me that before i accepted lol. Your argument might not be so easy to dismantle now.
no. I don't support suicide pacts.
Are you going to argue in favour of a suicide pact in order to solve this problem?
