"Owen's Moral Physiology; or, A Brief and Plain Treatise on the Population Question" by Ralph Glover, M.D., is a work from the 1800's exploring human reproduction and its connections to morality and society. It looks at the idea of managing how many people are born and the good that can come from open talks about our natural drive to reproduce. The book starts by looking at why we have these instincts and what they mean for us and the world around us. Glover says that controlling reproduction is important and can lead to happier lives and less trouble, like being poor or drinking too much. He believes that being informed is better than not knowing, and argues that understanding and talking openly about these things can help people and make society better, pushing back against common misunderstandings.
