Frasi di Brock Chisholm

George Brock Chisholm è stato un militare e medico canadese, primo direttore generale dell'Organizzazione Mondiale della Sanità.

È stato un forte sostenitore della tolleranza e spesso ha commentato che il peggior nemico dell'umanità non era la malattia, che nel suo sentire poteva essere curata a certe condizioni, ma l'umanità stessa. Nel suo celebre libro Can people learn to learn? auspica l'avvento di scoperte scientifiche che permettano un intervento di politica demografica a livello internazionale a favore del controllo delle nascite capace di produrre "infertilità dopo due o tre bambini".Nel 1948 è stato l'ispiratore e fondatore della Federazione mondiale per la salute mentale.
