Should American families have a two child max rule to limit population growth? The debate on whether or not American families should be restricted to having just two children as a means of population control is not likely to end for decades. As is evident in the case of China‚ population control‚ in spite of all the benefits that supporters use as a trump card‚ is like a monster with a cold heart and a compassionless face.
