Abstract

In the new era of human social development which began roughly sixteen years ago, after the Second World War, many new problems have appeared. Most of the very important ones stem from man’s, or some men’s, tremendously increased ability to kill and destroy, or his also greatly increased ability to save and prolong life. The scientific and engineering development of the ability to split and to fuse atoms and the great advances in public health and medical fields have been the chief initiators of these changes.
