I must add that curtailing the number of births is quite a different
thing from allowing those who have already been born to suffer and die
of disease, hunger, war, etc.

I think it is well know that the populations pressure is not a result of
the brithrate as much as a decline in the death rate. The basic
philosphy is that everyone who makes it into this world is entitled to a
long heathy life. The solution for sustainining the globe remains
curtailing the birth rates.
