I believe the only way we'll be able to solve infant mortality - and other huge social problems - is by designing solutions for those with the greatest intent to carry it out.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The human overpopulation issue is the topic I see as the most vital to solve if our children and grandchildren are to have a good quality of life.
I consider the fact that thousands of children die each day from starvation and a lack of medicine a crisis for humanity and a problem we must collectively attempt to solve.
We want every human being in the womb to be safe, not have these babies be killed to solve some dilemma.
I think at the prospect of bringing children into the world, your mortality comes very much to the forefront, absolutely.
I wish we could have state-of-the-art hospitals in every corner of the earth... but realistically, it's going to be a while before that can happen. But we can immunise every kid on earth, and we can prevent these diseases. It's only a matter of political will, a little bit of money and some systems to do it.
It's obvious that the key problem facing humanity in the coming century is how to bring a better quality of life - for 8 billion or more people - without wrecking the environment entirely in the attempt.
Technology will definitely solve all our problems, but in the process it will create brand new ones. But that's O.K. because the most you can expect from life is to get to solve better and better problems.
The solution to adult problems tomorrow depends on large measure upon how our children grow up today.
Anything which is a huge problem for humanity we'll sign up for, if we can find a way to fix it.
There are a lot of things we as individuals can't do much about. We can't solve global warming as individuals, or health care problems, but as individuals, most of us can get our kids reading. We can do that.
