@Vector. You never cease to amaze with your heartless rhetoric. Did you ever stop to think that your place in life is simply an accident of birth? Can you imagine being born into a situation even remotely worse than your own? Your lack of compassion and empathy is stunning.
As much as it pains me to answer your questions, I will, even though I know that your mind is untouchable.
“If a person cannot feed themselves then why are they having children?”
People have basic needs, and sex is one of them. Women in those areas are not often in a position to refuse their husbands, and, lacking birth control or access to abortions, they have lots of children. Also, famines don’t predict themselves. If you have a family of 5 in “prosperous times” (I use prosperous loosely), and a famine arrives, what are you supposed to do then?
“If you have AIDS then why are you having children?”
There is virtually no health care in these countries, and a large majority of HIV-infected individuals don’t know their HIV status. Thus, people live with HIV for ~10 years before developing full blown AIDS, which is plenty of time to have children.
“Who is to blame? The People? The Government? WHO? Is there blame to be thrown around?”
You can blame whomever you want to, but the fact is that these are people with little access to resources, education, health care and hope. Why shouldn’t we help them?
