My point wasn't that working for a better world for future generations is bad, but that empathy and compassion are above the survival of our species. I used this in a context of being the last man on earth with another woman and making the decision to not rape her. I think it's the best call. Obviously I'm not against working to improve our survival odds as long as it doesn't conflict with fundamental human rights.
The argument of improving our species and survival needs to be handled carefully because it has been used to propose eugenic measures.
