No shirt off my back if we don't exist! Think about it... we're the most damaging species to ever existed on this planet (If the history of Earth based on soil layers are accurate). Evolution is not a goal directed process... people aren't perfect. If we happen to be a "mistake" where replacement by another species is more beneficial for keeping this planet habitable, who cares? The past is irrelevent... for good or bad, we "happened". So let's just make the best of this situation okay?

We rarely wish to make the world a better place. Usually when we say that thsi is what we want to do, it is just a cover up for more of our selfish motives. People shouldnt be allowed to 'try to make the world a better place' the reality of it is that they are using the resources that they received for their personal benefit. Some are just better at hiding this than others. We are not capable of anything other than serving our own ends.

I would selfishly like my grandchildren to have a nice, clean, beautiful planet to live on with sustainable energy and diverse flora and fauna.
“There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.”

I would not sacrifice one of my own children, but if I knew my children would be taken care of, then I don't think it would be that be that big a deal. People willingly die for causes and always have.
If it was going to be a very painful death, I might not be able to go through with it, but if it was going to be quick and painless, meh.“There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged.
