behind which lies the central fact that the world can not support a
population of over five billion people - a figure rapidly rising towards
ten billion. A large proportion of the world's population is never far from
death and exists in the direst of poverty, both ignorant and exploited.
World peace and the future of our civilisation are threatened - not in the
distant future, but right now. Many concerned scientists believe
over-population to be the greatest threat to mankind. As Calne states in
this book: "We stand on the edge of a global catastrophe and we must act
soon".
Sir Roy Calne, the pioneer transplant surgeon who has already done so much
to advance medical knowledge, has written this book with the aim of
confronting the present dilemma with the same scientific method that has
given us an advanced technological civilisation, but which - through
medical advances - has given us greater life expectancy. Calne wishes to
create an urgent dialogue with those who oppose birth control and to make
the public aware of the real situation.
This book is educational in the widest sense. In giving us a history of our
scientific past and its consequences, and the relationship that science has
to the differing ethical and cultural traditions throughout the world, the
author enables the present to be understood as growing out of all our
yesterdays. Everyone can benefit from a book that presents knowledge so
readably, and with such warmth, wisdom and humanity.
