Feels pretty arrogant to assume that’s the only ethical action. Who are we to be judge jury and executioner, even more than we are already?

- goldenkey 5y agoThe only alternative is to eradicate illness and disease in all of the Earth's biomass, which consists largely of sea creatures. We likely won't have the technology to do so for millennia, if ever. Life is not a gemstone if it is pockmarked with suffering. It is our duty to eradicate suffering by all means necessary. This is why the most progressive countries in the world have legalized euthanasia. Because life is not the goal, happiness is. Death is not an enemy, suffering is. Feels pretty whimsical to assume that one needs some kind of "right" to do what's right. What gives anyone the right to do anything? It's a duty as a living being to help those in need. The cornerstone of all science and religion is eliminating suffering. The logical entailment of such an imperative is to destroy the Earth swiftly after we have moved on. A swift end and none of the creatures on it will suffer, and the ones suffering will suffer no more..
