TY - JOUR PY - 1996// TI - Medicine, population and war JO - Medicine, conflict and survival A1 - Parsons, J. SP - 23 EP - 34 VL - 12 IS - 1 N2 - Do medicine and health-care increase population size as well as individual quality of life? Do large and rapid increases in numbers tend to put greater pressure on and therefore increase competition for scarce resources and in turn raise the level and intensity of human conflict and violence? Does this hypothesized succession of events present health professionals with weighty ethical and practical dilemmas requiring urgent attention? It is argued here that it does.
