Is it morally right to continue the species?

[Johnny Canuck3]

Morality is personal and a reflection of it [ethics] also changes with epochs and Modes of Production. It also changes with different civilisations and cultures, casts/estates/strata/classes/groups and so forth...

And no, no such thing in "nature". Animals not only have no morality but also they have no potential to develop it. Innate to Humans, indeed!

Immoral are sociopaths.

I've always wondered this, and now I can ask you. See how you capitalized Modes of Production?

Why did you do that? I'm just trying to get inside the minds of people who capitalize some nouns but not others, to see if there's some sort of system operating there.

Ok. If it's important, it gets emphasized with capitals.

Thanks.

Are you saying that:

Is it morally right to continue the species?

Is an invalid question?

Strange thread. Surely it's about personal choice.

 

[gorski]

It can't be - it must also be about how and why we choose the way we do, then about various Govs [and up, all the way to the UN] etc. policy, governance and so forth, as it's to do with the subsequent generations and other species, our relationship with the Environment, finite resources, our technological, scientific, spiritual etc. limitations, us [Humans] being Rational or not, cutting the branch we sit on... or not....

Strange that someone can't see beyond me-myself-I and the naked now...
