{"title":"Legal trends and issues in voluntary sterilization.","authors":"","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>Legal barriers to voluntary sterilization are falling. In both developing and developed countries, new legislation, court decisions, government policy statements, and ministerial regulations increasingly leave the decision whether to be sterilized to the individuals involved rather than to medical experts or government officials. These legal changes confirm that voluntary sterilization is an acceptable means of fertility regulation and a legitimate medical procedure; it is no longer seen as physical mutilation to be condemned in the criminal codes. Nevertheless, barriers still exist in some countries that make it difficult for poor and rural populations to obtain voluntary sterilization. These obstacles arise when voluntary sterilization is excluded from national health and family planning programs and from private insurance plans. Changes in voluntary sterilization law reflect increasing choice of this method of fertility control. Over the last decade voluntary sterilization has become the most widely used means of family planning in the world. Approximately 100 million couples now are protected from unwanted pregnancy by voluntary sterilization. This amounts to one-eighth of the world's couples and one-third of all those practicing contraception. Almost half of these couples are in China. Voluntary sterilization is most prevalent in countries where the procedure has been clearly legal for a number of years. But now it is also becoming more common in countries like Brazil, where the legal status has been less clear.</p>","PeriodicalId":76336,"journal":{"name":"Population reports.

The riddle starts with a single leaf in the lily pond with the number of leaves doubling each day. The teacher asks when is the pond 1/2 full if it is full on the 30th day and the answer is \"on the 29th day.\" The world now with a population of 4 billion may already be at least 1/2 full. If doubling of population occurs within the next generation the \"pond\" could be entirely full. A doubling of population would mean that a great majority of countries will be confronted with ecological economic and political stresses that may be unmanageable. Signs of stress on the worlds principal biological systems and energy resources indicate that in many places they have already reached their limit and simply cannot withstand a tripling or quadrupling of population pressures. Population growth multiplies the number of people who are in need of social essentials at the same time it reduces the resources able to satisfy them. Attention here is focused on understanding the threat of population growth the dimensions of ecological stresses and the consequences the impact of population growth on food needs and economic stresses. The question remains as to how humankind will accommodate to the earths natural systems and resources. Although analysts can define the elements of accommodation and prepare the timetables for making the required changes only governments have sufficient power to implement them by means of legislation budgetary and fiscal policies taxation and the analytical and educational capacities of government institutions.","PeriodicalId":76336,"journal":{"name":"Population reports.
