Abstract

The author reflects on the overpopulation crisis in the world of a magnitude beyond human comprehension. He cites surveys which show that the world is facing critical overpopulation due to advances in agriculture and health, science and technology, and a lack of similar progress being made in the area of birth control. He emphasizes that the birth rate should not exceed the death rate, in order to achieve quality living, instead of nature's "survival of the fittest."
