   My idea of Family Planning

  Family planning is the most effective way to solve the population problem, the seriousness of which we often underestimate.  Quite obviously family planning has so far macle little progress. At a time when half of the world is suffering from starvation, poor health and a badly Iow standard of living, we simply cannot take lightly the population problem. If we don't control the birth rate right now we'll surely lead a miserable life in the near future.
  llliteracy is perhaps the main enemy of family planning.Countries, which share the highest birth rate such as Brazil and India, are also those which share the highest illiteracy rate. People there don't even know what "birth control" is.
  To me, the ignorance of family planning is a social problem. So we had better begin with social reforms through,say, legislation, etc. Of course, we cannot deny the necessity of the medical approach and we should use it in conjunction with other methods. The answer to the question whether man can survive one of the crises of the 21st century, namely population, is in our hands.
  计划生育之我见
  计划生育是解决人口问题最有效的方法,而我们经常低估人口问题的严重性。非常明显,计划生育至今为止几乎没有得到什么进展。  当世界的一半人口经历饥饿、健康水平差和低得让人吃惊的生活水平的痛苦时,我们不能简单地轻视人口问题。如果我们现在不控制出生率,我们在不久的将来必定要过上更悲惨的生活。
  无知或许是计划生育最大的敌人。人口出生率最高的国家,比如巴西和印度,同时也是文盲率最高的国家。  那里的人们甚至不知道什么叫做“人口控制”。
  依我之见,对计划生育的无知是一个社会问题。所以我们最好先进行·一些社会改革,比如通过立法等来控制人口数量。  当然我们也不能否定药物方法的必要性,并且要把这种方法和其他方法结合起来。决定我们是否能够解决21世纪的一大危机,即人口问题的答案就在我们自己手中。
