Who's going to find problems or find themselves in a problem with that?

Birth control is bad unless you prefer to have birth rates of Japan or South Korea.

0.7 birth rate?

Yeah, its like watching a nation commit suicide very slowly.

That's like a 130 kg man losing 2kg/year and saying "I'm starving to death".

Not there yet, not even close.

We are not programmed to ignore procreational urges.

Which was OK when infant mortality rates were sufficiently high. 

Perhaps it would be better to stop all medical and surgical intervention.

It's not really "self control" if you just can't get laid.

Do we have any problems throwing away, destroying all birth control except for simply self control?

Yep.

Because self-control has it's limitations.

And as I suggested, medical and surgical intervention means that  natural  intervention doesn't keep population growth in check any more.

Though I use the term "natural" very loosely, because I am of the opinion that everything is naturally occurring.

Therefore birth control is just as acceptable as medical and surgical intervention is. Both have evolved naturally from the stuff of the universe.


If you had a serious bacterial infection, would you throw away the antibiotics?

Other than variously contrived ethics and morality; what is the difference between the human development of birth control and the human development of antibiotics?

I guess regardless, sexual reproduction will prevail.

It's silly of society to think of birth control, self control and killing babies.

Babies.

Is a dramatic misrepresentation of  reality.

In the main, birth control is about prevention, rather than eradication.

When you look at this on a grand scale, preventing life is diminishing it. We are living creatures. Life living replenishing beings. Every part of our organic living being is aimed at living , growing, developing. Not just as individuals we do all these activities and functions so we can continue to live in bodily forms but also in genetic forms so that we continue to live bodily over and over because the aim of life is just that, to live.

Yes, I would agree that survival is an inbuilt strategy.

Though on the current grand scale, population continues to increase.

Which shows that the current birth to death ratio favours species survival.
