Well to begin with I would promote educational programs that provide
accurate information about the effects of overpopulation; and, I also
would promote programs that provide accurate information about family
planning as well as economical access to effective and safe
contraception.
Certainly, in parts of the world there are cultural and religious
barriers to effective family planning. But, the stakes are high, and I
think that if the information is out there, people will realize that
they have choices.

Have we given up on population control entirely?
Prof. Shapiro, what kind of control methods are you referring to?
