Well, some getting in a snit over this. Kinda following Chad, I think everyone is selfish. It's the level from which the directive is issued that is key.
but hang it. i will! youve spurred me on! Excellent danny!
PBJ: I think it's very likely your...okay, well, maybe not yours if they aren't healthy...but many peoples children, currently under say 15, may live to 100 or so. I plan on being around for at least a few centuries. But I think the endeavor is worth it, regardless.
Ed: hah! As have I with similar experience.
As curmudgeon (as well as I have) said, it's a matter of balance. Each person has to find that balance relative to their experience. The important part is that they try.
Another thing to consider is what you eat. People act like organic is this unnatural thing...well, that's cos it hasn't been the norm for several decades. But it's coming back around. Health in general is a factor in conservation. It's a part of that balance.
