- See life (disambiguation) for other senses of 'life'.
Life or personal life or human existence is an individual human's personal, private experience of living (including their employment career, their family life, and other elements). In prehistoric times, life and existence was based on survival. There was little privacy and a person was identified by their role in the group. In modern times, many people have even come to think of their personal lives as if they are separate from their work. This segmentation of "life areas" is evident in such phrases as "work life", "home life" and "sex life." The meaning or role of a person's "life" or "human existence" is discussed in many religions and philosophies. In Western industrialized countries, there are a variety of service industries that help people improve their personal lives, such as counselling and life coaching services. More...

The one-child policy is the population control policy (or planned birth policy) of the People's Republic of China (PRC).
The Chinese government brought in the policy in 1979 to help reduce the country's social and environmental problems. The policy is controversial both within and outside China because of the issues it raises.
Second children are subject to birth spacing (usually 3 or 4 years). Additional children will result in large fines.
The one-child policy is challenged over basic human rights violations. Reported issues include bribery, coercion, forced sterilization, forced abortion, and infanticide. Reports have shown that women as far along as 8.5 months pregnant were forced to abort by injection of saline solution.
In February 2008 a Chinese Government official said that the one-child policy would be reconsidered during the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference in March 2008, but at that time a representative of China's National Population and Family Planning Commission said that the policy would remain in place for at least another decade.
