Reminds me of this film by Hans Rosling: http://hubski.com/pub?id=126699
Basically, they come to the same conclusions concerning "poor countries are doomed to stay poor" and "saving lives leads to overpopulation". A film worth watching. It re-iterates what is said in the letter, but i find he presents the data in a very accessible way, which is very important if we want to get rid of those misconceptions. I'm happy the letter gets the attention it deserves, I was a bit disappointed it didn't get shared when I posted two days ago.
