The People’s Republic of China, with a population of over one billion, four hundred million citizens has put in place a one-child per family law. Provide both a defense and refutation argument for the policy using ethical justifications.

China’s “One child policy” is arguably one of the most controversial policies—one that
arouses a wide array of human rights concerns. The direct consequences of this policy include
notorious sex-selective abortions and female infanticides, which are practiced under traditional
gender norms and patriarchic social customs that favor boys over girls in most Chinese families. In
the long run, Chinese society suffers from an imbalanced sex-ratio problem, which has wide ranging
social ramifications. Issues such as trafficking in woman and children for forced marriage have become apparent both internally and throughout China’s bordering regions.

But it has some negative views also. The number of child in the family is the personal wish and the right of people. So the Supreme body's involvement has not been supportive. Every humans in this earth have his own right about reproducing their offsprings. If a family with single child, may lack many things in the SOciety. There would not be no-one else in the family in case something happened to the only child. Also, the population of older people go up when compared with that of youngsters.
