quality of life or life for life's sake

No you didn't, nothing here inspired that it was a post from kiwi farms regarding "tard babies". Methinks you are projecting mate.


Yes it does depend on the species because Humans are far more likely to save a baby with a horribly painful mutation than to spare a horse with a broken leg. Are we the only species that does this? Something regarding personal morality and seeking emotional pain relief will probably justify that.


Brian, I'm not so sure that the goal of life is reproduction, but I could be convinced.

Because you have an old mythological view of what "goal" means. I gave you my answer, you not liking it is your baggage, not mine.

Humans are really not that different than other mammals. Lions kill rival cubs. Humans will save their own babies in their own societies, but when we get into wars those same kids are considered collateral damage. We do often treat animals, like horses, or cats or dogs, better than we treat each other as humans. We also invent very cruel weapons to murder each other with.

You are confusing our evolution which lead to our brain capacity which no other species has, and human language as making us an apex. We are not an apex, we are simply 1 species among many. And if we don't get a handle on our self caused climate change, we will be no different than any other invasive species that has wiped itself out because it got too big.

So the goal is to reproduce as you stated earlier but also to get a handle on climate control so we don't wipe out our own species because it has gotten too big.  

Got it.
