In the areas where the 'first world' is responsible in large part for the starvation, I would state we have a duty and obligation to feed them, regardless of how many children they have.
In Somalia and Senegal the HIV prevalence is under 1% of the adult population, whereas in Namibia, South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe around 15-20% of adults are infected with HIV. In three southern African countries, the national adult HIV prevalence rate now exceeds 20%. These countries are...
