Why do people tend to think that the continuation of the human species is important? I mean, yes, thereapos;s a biological issue at play here, but letapos;s try to look beyond that. Itapos;s really not at all important when you think about it. Wanting the species to continue is frankly a pretty vain, egotistical thing. Itapos;s not even something that could possibly affect you.

Face it people, we do not matter that much. We are not especially important in the grand scheme of nature. There is no good reason to say the humanity ought to continue aside from our own jealous preferences.

Now, it could be argued (or not really, because Iapos;ll just agree with you) that itapos;s even more egotistical, but all I really care about the continuation of myself. In fact, I wouldnapos;t hesitate for a moment to destroy the rest of the species (or, for that matter, all life everywhere) if it was absolutely necessary to maintain my own survival. Without being around to appreciate it I have absolutely no care about anything into the future... Although I certainly donapos;t think that means you ought to be a dick about things like the environment.

Biology kind of screwed up with me when you get down to it.
