I decided to rewatch this documentary The Miracle of Life recently. I was a fan of the work of Lennart Nilsson. His work showing the stages of fetal development via photography was groundbreaking. The documentary itself was groundbreaking when it was released I believe in 1983. So 40 years ago. I was struck by how in the intro they said the population of earth was approximately 4 billion people. Now we’re at 8 billion people. I know the issues raised by population loss in certain countries and cultures. But on a species level of thinking is it the worst?
