Interviewer: Mrs. Sutter, is there a need to control population only in countries like India, Africa, Brazil, those countries that we call the underdeveloped countries or is there a case for limiting population in Europe, for instance?
Interviewee: The reason One would have to limit population is because you are running out of food and you are running out of resources. The people in Europe and America consume a far greater proportion of the world’s resources and the world’s food than they do in India. So, population is directly related to consumption and your general impact on the environment.
Interviewer: Do you mean that if as an individual your impact is far greater than anybody else’s, then that is the factor that is important, rather than how many people there are, or how many people can the world support?
Interviewee: Exactly. Now obviously in that sense, it is possible to increase population if everybody is willing to use less material or eat less food, but this doesn’t seem to be the trend at the moment.
Interviewer: But the world can produce more to meet the needs.
Interviewee: The problem is that the underdeveloped areas try and develop more material benefits, but as soon as they do this, the population increase has wiped out any benefit they may have achieved.
Interviewer: But do you feel that this battle with a rapidly expanding population can be won?
Interviewee: The most sensible thing is to realize that you can’t go on expanding human populations forever and countries and individuals must decide to have a policy which would limit population.
Interviewer: What section of the population do you think free birth control techniques should be available to?
Interviewee: They should be available to all sections of the community. Since things are getting to such a pitch that I personally think that not only should birth control methods be available to all sections of the community, but indeed should be compulsory. There should be acme kind of law which says that a family should not have more than three children, a complete maximum of three children, If they have three children then they must be obliged by law to use birth control.
Interviewer: But surely this is very explosive in social terms.
Interviewee: It’s a very totalitarian motion. But if we look around us in the world we can see millions of people are starving to death in places like India, and people suffering from malnutrition in other parts of the underdeveloped world and indeed even in parts of the so-called developed world.
