Human overpopulation has a highly significant effect on human health
OUR MISSION

OUR VALUES

DSP's AIM: -CREATING A FAR BETTER WORLD
Nobel laureate Sir Macfarlane Burnet, possibly Australia's greatest scientist, expressed "desperate alarm" because of overpopulation, depletion of natural resources and pollution of our air, water and soil, arguing that urgent corrective measures should be taken.1 Our Group of medical graduates, Doctors for Sustainable Population (DSP) agrees with that concept, believing that to do nothing will cause much misery for our children and grandchildren. Reasoned debate about evidenced-based science, and appropriate remedies could create a far better world.
