“The impact of mortality drops on fertility will be nearly 1:1, so population growth will hardly change.”
Before the line you quote:
“Overall, it appears that life-saving interventions unaccompanied by other improvements, where access to contraception is weak, are likely to lead to some”
Re-reading it now, it seems weird GW would put two apparently contradictory statements next to each other.
I think my main point still stands. If you thought saving lives was good because you are a total util the more happy years the better, you should be less excited about AMF the more it doesn’t cause there to be more happy years by altering population dynamics.
It’s just a couple of lines above in the box:
