Abortion and Global warming

As to the persons who DO and WILL exist, including us and future generations, yes, they have a right to a habitable planet in the same way that you have the right to not choke on your own oxygen. We all share the air we breathe and we all have a duty to protect it.

Yucca Mountain was proposed to be made into a nuclear waste dump. Part of the plans to build the dump included warning signs written with pictures so that any intelligent being should be able to decipher them. The concern is the site would be toxic so long that English or any other language in use today....might be dead and forgotten. In your opinion if Yucca Mountain was built, would we the builders have a moral obligation to put up such signs?

There is an assumption that intelligent beings without our specific language may encounter our nuclear waste.

It is simply that -- an assumption.

What moral obligation do we have to these potential intelligent beings?

1. You would have warnings that are visually striking, which would indicate a warning to people who can't read your language. And, you would have these up to protect your own people.

2. Nobody can predict where the language will go, so it is not our responsibility to make guesses.

He's trying to equivocate self-aware beings with a clump of cells or fertilized egg again.

Heywood is my least favorite broken record today.
