Not breaking anything to me...

LH and Bill d are spot - on.

It's a choice between letting nature do it (a nature that has been f-ed up by humans btw) inhumanely, or allowing science to help do it humanely. I've posted elsewhere on Earth's long history of population crashes (mass extinctions - of which we are in the midst of the largest/fastest ever).

In either case, it's not scientists who are at fault. It is (as LH and Bill D have put it) the insane/stupid/greedy asses at the top of the $y$tem - who have worked damn hard to ignore, suppress, distract from, or demonize the science.

Depressing thread drift innit?
