The discussion focused on three points: 1. The general principles underlying the practice of birth control; 2. The extent and growth of birth control in England and the United States, including effects on the birth rate, laws, and clinical studies of birth control clinic patients; and 3. The role of birth control in the problems of population, including a more even distribution of wealth, increases in production and control of the birth rate. Other points raised were whether birth control practice was an inevitable result of civilization and whether population growth rate can be lowered without birth control
