Question Read the passage and use it to answer the question. All over the world till lately, and in most of the world still today, mankind has been following the course of nature, that is to say, it has been breeding up to the maximum. To let nature take her extravagant course in the reproduction of the human race may have made sense in the age in which we were also letting her take a course in decimating mankind by the casualties of war, pestilence, and famine. Being human, we have started to impose on nature’s heartless play a humane new order of our own. But when once a man has begun to interfere with nature, he cannot afford to stop halfway. We cannot, with impunity, cut down the death rate and at the same time allow the birth rate to go on taking nature’s course. We must consciously try to establish equilibrium or, sooner or later, famine will stalk abroad again.
