YOUR BIOTIC REGULATION QUESTIONS On August 16th, 2006 Professor Jos van Damme raised several important topics in his questions: My first question is how much time does humanity have to reduce the birth rate around the globe sufficiently to prevent destruction of the world ecosystem? How many generations may this process of reducing birth rate take to work effectively? My second question is what sort of process do you envisage for the human population to come to a reduction of birthrates? I see none at the moment; I see only misuderstandings and misuse of your ideas about birth rate reduction in political environments, what makes me rather pessimistic..." The essay comes in two languages, Russian and English. In Russian it can be read in full right now, while the English translation will be coming chapter by chapter, with the Preface and Section I.1. "INTERNAL DEMOGRAPHIC PROBLEM: Population load of children and the elderly" already available.
