Question

Do we have the right to consider human beings as more valuable than other life forms? easygisi01


Answer

Thenmozhi Soundararajan: No, no, no. I think this is a situation where might makes right, and I think that as a species we’re really at a turning point. Are we going to live in balance with the rest of our world and with the other animals and plant life that exists in it? Are we willing to live sustainably? I think until we have a consensus that can answer that with a yes, I think we’re moving to a place where we’re going to be moving ourselves into extinction. That may be the way that the earth balances itself from one of its primary predators of this planet.
