Too many people on earth?
Why is the world population getting older?
What is the Earth Charter? And the "new medical ethics"?
Why is the UN supporting birth control in the Third World?
Does one have the right to put an end to someone else's life?
Is the majority rule enough in order to characterise democracy?
What is the future of the family?
These are a few basic questions raised by the current discussions concerning human rights, abortion, euthanasia, birth control, and ageing.

This e-book offers elements of information, reflection and discussion about all these crucial themes. The material that is collected here directly echoes the works of Professor Michel Schooyans, professor of political philosophy, social ethics, and political demography at the University of Louvain in Belgium.

Professor Schooyans is also a consultant to the Pontifical Council for the Family, Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace, and is a member of the Pontifical Academy for Life. He and the Friends of Life invite you to join them in giving a voice to those whose right to be heard is not recognized.

Originally written in French, this e-book was edited for the internet by Ms. Anne-Marie Libert, and encoded with relevant internet links in its present diskette form by the Simbahayan sa Maynila for the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines' Family and Life Conference of Luzon.
