POPULATION GROWTH AND THE ENVIRONMENT: A DANGEROUS TREND?

The 1993 Stanford Health Policy Forum
Saturday February 20
Stanford University, Stanford, CA

        The population of our world is growing at the rate of 100 million
people per year.  Global warming, rain forest destruction, and worldwide
resource depletion threaten the health and well-being of everyone. Are
population growth and environmnental degradation linked? Respected
scholars with diverse viewpoints will gather to discuss this question at the
1993 Stanford Health Policy Forum.
        The Stanford Health Policy Forum is an annual national conference
organized by medical students. Its purpose is to involve students, faculty,
and other members of the university community in dialogue about the
economic, political, and ethical forces that will shape the future of health
care.
