The harsh ethics of the lifeboat become even harsher when we consider the reproductive differences between the rich nations
and the poor nations. The people inside the lifeboats are
doubling in numbers every 87 years; those swimming around
outside are doubling on the average, every 35 years, more than
twice as fast as the rich. And since the world's resources are
dwindling, the difference in prosperity between the rich and the
poor can only increase
As of 1973, the U. S. had a population of 210 million people, who
were increasing by 0.8 percent per year. Outside our lifeboat, let
us imagine another 210 million people (say the combined
populations of Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela, Morocco, Pakistan,
Thailand and the Philippines) who are increasing at a rate of 3.3
percent per year. Put differently, the doubling time for this
aggregate population is 21 years, compared to 87 years for the
U. S.

Select the contred text in the passage which sentence in this excerpt from john galsworthy's narrative essay "gone" reflects his view that there is no afterlife? an old woman and mrs. herd's sister were in the sitting-room, they showed us to the crazy, narrow stairway. though we lived distant but four hundred yards of a crows flight, we had never seen mrs. herd before, for that is the way of things in this land of minding one's own business a slight dark girlish-looking woman, almost quite refined away, and with those eyes of the dying, where the spirit is coming through, as it only does when it knows that al is over except just the passing. she lay in a double bed with clean white sheets. a white-washed room, so low that the ceiling almost touched our heads, some flowers in a bow, the small lattice window open. though it was hot in there, it was better far than the rooms of most families in towns, living on a wage of twice as much, for here was no sign of defeat in decency or cleanliness. in her face, as in poor herd's, was that same strange minging of resigned despair and almost eager appeal, so terrible to disappoint. yet, trying not to disappoint it, one felt guilty of treachery: what was the good, the kindness in making this poor bird flutter still with hope against the bars, when fast prison had so surely closed in round her? but what else could we do? we could not give her those glib assurances that naive souls make so easily to others concerning their after state. and the night was so beautiful, so utterly glamourously beautiful, with its star-flowers, and its silence and its trees clothed in moonlight. all was tranquil as a dream of sleep. but it was long before our hearts wandering with poor herd, would let us remember that she had slipped away into so beautiful a dream
