Slide 17 : In an effort to control the rapid growth of China's population, the government implemented a single-child policy in the 1970s, aiming to keep the population below 1.6 billion by 2050 with zero population growth.
China now has nearly 1.3 billion people, making it the most populated country in the world.

Logical? : Logical? Poor nutrition leads to mutations
That create more dangerous forms of the influenza virus
May contribute to newly virulent outbreaks of viral epidemics
Ranging from the common cold to AIDS, Ebola fever and SARS.
Populations not well-fed will infect us.
Thus more virulent viral strains will affect the healthy populations + malnutritioned populations.

Slide 32 : Between 1995 and 2000
More than 300 million, one quarter of the world's pregnancies were unintended.
Slide 33 : "Most of these unintended pregnancies and needless deaths could have been prevented had basic reproductive health services been made available to these women.Providing women with the means to plan, prevent or space their next pregnancy can be done with modest resources.
