Human being = singular Human beings = plural A human being and his/her problems. Human beings and their problems.

As J. Rios responded, "his or her" is necessary for this singular noun. It is awkward, but we do not want to unintentionally exclude half the human race. The solution to the problem is always to pluralize. Use "human beings", and then the possessive pronoun "their" is appropriate.
