Is new life a threat to existing life?

[Inter.spem.et.metum]

Do you consider a new life on this planet as a threat to the people living now?

What kind of new life?

[Buffy]

If it was an Islamofascist, probably...

Any life. This idea is constant conveyed by many people everywhere, including this forum. The assumption is that new life on this world creates a possible problem and a definite conflict with something on this planet.

Well that would explain why LSD is illegal.

You should listen to what the responses above *say*: some would be good, some would be bad.

Unfortunately you seem to be trying to make this a black and white issue:

Thus, this is troll-bait: you're trying to get people to take one side or another which will result in an endless stream of "you're a heartless murderer!" "No, you're a naive Commie!"

This does nothing but cause useless conflict for the amusement of the trolling party.

You may wish to rephrase your question.

Words -- so innocent and powerless as they are, as standing in a dictionary, how potent for good and evil they become in the hands of one who knows how to combine them,

Absolutely. I am trying to make it a black and white issue. Only when you boil down an issue to its raw essence can you truly understand it. I am well aware of the ability to pull all things into a grey area. I am well aware of the debate that this question suggests, and that is my purpose.

The more life there is on this planet, the more potential human beings will have. Overpopulation would have to be addressed, of course. But, with all the resources spent to kill life being used in alternate methods of creating and protecting life, the possibilities are endless. There is no logic in trying to end death, the logic lies in trying to use what we have properly.

Oh! Okay! Then, no!

Those who seek simplistic answers will get them...

Then why do you support abortion?

Gee we *know* you're being a troll here! You don't actually have to *say* it!

I admire you're strong stand against all medical technology that would be used to eliminate viruses, bacteria, in any numbers whatsoever!

Put down that soap young man! You'll kill more germs than Stalin killed people in 60 seconds!
