What is the value of a human life? When the population of ” animals ” in a given area is so high thati t is beginning to negatively impact its eco-system, we human beings make the decision that ultimately leads to the death of a large portion of that animals population. Obviously on this planet, this not so rare of an occurance has happened with another animal species; humans. Will we make the hard decision and wipe out large portions of our own species? Can we? Should we?
In a game i have been playing recentloy, Civilizations 4, the game creators incorporated a nifty fact of life into their virtual world; you have to decide when and where in a city to make citizens and specialists because if they don’t contribute to society, they become a detriment because they consume precious resources the working citizens need to survive. This fun fact of life, directly correlates with the elderly communities and the centers the fight to keep alive people who will as they even admite, inevitabloy die, regardless of the vast resources spent. Where do we draw the line? Where do we accept our humanities place in the animal kingdom and focus on solving this problem, the one draining this planet of its resources and turning its oxygen to poison?
