Hi Adrie,
I am not how you interpreted me as stating that we have a moral
obligation. We express morality as a continuity of Quality,
certainly, not through some uniquely human power. We call the
preservation of species a Moral activity if we see it that way. Some
do not. Based on theories of evolution one could say that Nature does
not see such a thing by our same criteria of Morality. This would
imply that Nature is immoral. However, one could convincingly argue
that making room for new species is Moral. In the same way, short
lifespans and death is Moral. There is no Truth to be had here, only
quality of rhetoric.
Cheers,
Mark
