On an average day, 324,000 new babies are born into the world every day. During that same day, 10,000 persons, on an average, will have starved to death or died from malnutrition.' So it goes. 'In addition, 123,000 persons will die for other reasons.' So it goes. 'This leaves a net gain of about 191,000 each day in the world. The Population Reference Bureau predicts that the world's total population will double to 7,000,000,000 before the year 2000.''I suppose they will all want dignity,' I said.'I suppose,' said O'Hare.
Every day, approximately 324,000 new babies are born globally, while around 10,000 people die from starvation or malnutrition. Additionally, other causes lead to the deaths of about 123,000 people daily. This results in a net population increase of about 191,000 each day. The Population Reference Bureau forecasts that the world population will reach 7 billion by the year 2000.
The conversation reflects on the implications of this population growth, suggesting that as the numbers rise, so too will the demand for human dignity among the newly born and existing individuals. The dialogue between the characters highlights an awareness of the challenges ahead as society grapples with fulfilling these demands.
