(Producer) This film gives a rapid survey of demographic aspects of the population problem and the role of the medical profession in achieving lower death rates. It studies method by which population stability was maintained in the past and stresses the responsibility of the physician to instruct his patients in the use of contraceptives. Techniques of educating patients through doctor-patient interviews are demonstrated. IUD insertions, vasectomy, and tubal ligations are shown. Animal experimentation (monkeys) is mentioned; as is current contraceptive research.
