Where Are the People?

From the December 1972 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Sometimes when we look about us, we may wonder about the many young men who have been killed in the wars. What of the careers they would have pursued? Would the world be different if they were here? And where are they?

Now we talk of limiting the population. The world must not become too crowded. Birth control and abortion are methods often discussed. But at the same time we speak of improving the health of mankind so that the human life-span will greatly increase. This means more people.

A materialistic view of man suggests that we are creators, and that it is our responsibility to create only as many individuals as the earth can happily support.
