I disagree with just about everything you said. The ecosystem is worthless without an intelligence to experience it. For self-aware species, death is a disease despite the fact that it maintains a consistent ecosystem. As a self-aware being, we all should have the right to live and die on our own terms.
I doubt you would speak as you did if were, in fact, next to a loved one on their death bed.
But then again, this is all a matter of opinion. We're all entitled to our right answers :)
- jly 7y agoI think you both have some good points. Escaping death and disease with technology is a slippery slope. If that technology disappears or is unavailable, it puts a species in potential peril. Selection pressure keeps the fitness of the gene pool resilient, although at a cost to many individuals. This is relevant to all species, human and otherwise.
