Disclaimer: That first slide was included in the actual presentation given, and for a reason. If you get offended easily, navigate elsewhere, as I didn't filter anything. This was a presentation given by my team in the spring of 2006 for International Business. For our final project, our professor wanted each team to come up with a business plan that HAD to be as controversial as possible. After tossing some ideas around, we settled on this simple, yet incendiary concept: What if we created a birth control drug that could be placed in all drinkable liquids - even natural fresh water sources? And apply this drug on a global scale? For the "greater good" of the planet and humanity? Needless to say, once the floor opened to questions, we got yelled at and heckled for about ten minute, with pretty much had the entire class ready to kill all of us. And our professor smiled in the corner and gave us an 'A'. If YOU have any questions about the ideas behind this presentation, feel free to ask - I believe I still remember all the possible answers we gave. =)

2. Welcome to Earth

3. OUR Earth

4. World Population “Forever”
Grows…
 There are currently 6.4 billion people on
Earth
 Projected growth:
 7 billion by 2013
 9.1 billion by 2050

5. The Problems Don’t End
There…

6. Unwanted Pregnancies
In the United States:
 48% of 6.3 million pregnancies were
unintended
 Out of those 48%…

47% were aborted

13% miscarried
 40% were born

7. 80 million unintended
pregnancies occur yearly

8. The Ongoing Problem
 Global population increases while
available resources decreases
 Resource wars are already occurring –
more to follow as necessary resources
become limited
What can be done to curb our destructive path?

9. Add Birth Control to
Drinkable Liquids

10. Add Birth Control to Drinkable
Liquids
 The Goal:
 To have all drinkable liquids (water,
beverages, juices) laced with trace
amounts of birth control (BC) medication,
just enough to prevent women from
becoming pregnant
 To have this plan implemented on a global
scale for maximum effectiveness
 To regulate global population growth

11. Medical Concerns

12. Medical Formulation
 What will the formula contain?
 A Hybrid of Estrogen/Progestin

13. Medical Aspects
 Of the 4 hormonal active ingredients
that are commonly used in birth control:
 The hormones prove to be between 95% -
99.9% effective in preventing pregnancy
 Contain few, if any, negative side effects

14. Medical Aspects etc…
 Trace amounts= the minimum amount
of hormones required to prevent
pregnancy, based on the average amt
of liquids that the average person drinks
per day
 Safe for all ages
 Trace amounts in drinks, help to dilute the
harshness of hormones

15. Unsafe Abortion-A Global Problem
ABORTION KILLS
4000 A DAY IN THE USA

16. Economics of Abortion
 One unsafe abortion for
every seven births-WHO
 Bringing end to abortion
clinics
 Stopping unwanted
pregnancies will eliminate
abortions
 Saving 50% of hospital
budgets

18. Economics of Foster Care
 Fewer Foster Care or No
Foster Care
 30,000 children in 20,000
homes are fostered every
year
 It costs $500,000 per year
to foster children

19. Cost of BC Liquid
 The cost margin of $1000 to $2000 per child,
depending on income
 Assuming 30 million people pay for a child
worldwide;5 million pay max $2000 and 25 million
pay min $1000
 5 million X $2000 = $10 Trillion Revenue
 25 million X $1000 = $25 Trillion Revenue
 Total of $35 Trillion in Revenue

20. Cost of BC Liquid
 The operational cost, taking manufacturing,
marketing, and distribution of BC as well as the costs
of labor, machinery, materials, and maintenance:
 $1 trillion
 This leaves a net profit of a ridiculous amount!
 $34 trillion

21. Other Economic Views
 Population density declines – just and
sustainable economic system
 The concept of needing younger people to
support older people will be obsolete
 More people = more money taken in for SS than
is shelled out

22.  *Half of all
U.S.
pregnancies
are
unintentional*
 To prevent
this…

23. Government Aspects
• For regulation: a Birth Control Protection
Act will be passed
• Birth Control Protection Act- will be used
to effectively assure that the family size is
limited as much as possible

24. Government Aspects etc…
 This law will enforce the following
standards:
 A woman may only have 1 child every five
years, exception twins/ triplets
 Must obtain doctors’ approval for having
kids

25. Fertility Identification Card
(FIDs)
 Issued to Men and Women when they
desire to have 1st child
 Special IDs will be used internationally
 Information will be accessible via
barcode

26. Government Aspects etc…
 International Birth Control Agency
(IBCA)
 To oversee that all rules and regulations
are adhered to
 To monitor the economic aspects

27. International Concerns

28. Global mandate for BC
 Open discussion of birth
control
 Contraception advertised
and promoted openly
 Mandating use of
consistent contraception
worldwide
 Steps to ensure universal Prevalence of Modern Contraceptive Use
access to family planning

29. Global Business View
 Business doesn't need more people to
prosper, business needs people to
prosper more
 With fewer students, class sizes could
improve, and capital expenditures for new
schools would shrink. Existing schools
could get their needed repairs and
improvements

30. Using the liquid contraceptive will reduce the population
growth and will therefore benefit the environment.
This attempt to control human growth may preserve
agricultural land and tree farms

31. Conclusions
