We probably underestimate how much worse the evolutionary pressure we're exerting on bacteria will make the lives of future generations.

- jdavis703 7y agoI believe we have a responsibility to steward the planet for future generations. Obviously if we all die from infections because we saved all our antibiotics for the future that wouldn't be good stewardship. But the way we hand out antibiotics to prevent a potential infection or to fatten up livestock seems to be a poor use of our resources.
