I beg to differ. As a race we are only just starting to know what we're capable of, snatching someone away from death is the very ultimate thing that we can achieve. I know that I would want to live as long as I possibly could, even if it is wired to a machine.Far worse atrocities have taken place to give us the things that we take for granted today.Think of the all the different kinds of operations we can do on a human body. How did we get to where we are today? Trial and error, people died, animals died but in the end millions live.This might sound wrong, but I value a single human life more than that of a thousand other species. Why? Because we need to look out for each other. In the end,are the dominant species on this planet, will be for a long time. So I believe that the preservation of human life should be valued above all else, money, war or power for example.I understand that I may have came across a bit heartless in this thread, but it's difficult to put into writing how I feel about this kind of thing.
