...without looking at the long-term consequences. For example, the town of Yicheng has been doing sort of experiment where they're allowing couples to have 2 children, but have raised the minimum marriage age, and have forced couples to wait 6 years before having children. Now, it's pretty common knowledge that the later in life women have children, the greater the risk of birth defects such as Down Syndrome (Being a father of a child with Down, I'm intimately familiar with it). Yet, they're woefully unprepared for what is certain to be a dramatic rise in birth defects, which creates a whole new dilemma.
