Proliferating Male Species
In a remote country, it was decided to increase the number of male population. The proposal was to allow each family to have as many children as they want but only one girl. In other words, as soon as a family had one girl they could have no more children. As long as they had all boys they could keep having children. Would this achieve the desired result of increasing the male population?
Answer:
Outwardly it may seem that the above system contains no flaw but however a deeper reflection will tell that it is nothing short of a fallacy. When all the families rear so much of boys and so few girls where is the question of procreation and proliferation of mankind? The world would become a galaxy of male species and disproportionate females so as to create an imbalance and comes to an dead end, a cul-de-sac.
