On the carrying capacity of the earth...
* we do have some available space
on my home planet Mars.
I would be happy to sell you an acre or two for
a good price, your great-grandchildren
may need it , and thank you for your forsight !

I would suggest you might want to rethink your position ...or at least
trip the light fandango sometime down
to Rio, Mexico City or Bogata...
or 300 other major cities on earth
that are becoming more squalid , polluted , and
largely unlivable every day .
The distinction you make for saving a foetus because
of some "higher " moral purpose ,
and only saving the tiger from
extinction on the whim of pure
sentimentality seems something you
may want to rethink.
If your goal is to find a way of becoming
a whole human being , and promote greater
compassion with sentience and grace , and achieve
protection for the foetus thru instilling a basic
right-to-life premise ....
then concern for the rights of animal beings
as well as human beings would be our
ultimate course .
It is without a doubt the height of realism , blended
with deepest moral precepts and divine aesthetic
that we care for the suffering of all
living things ,and strive to protect
them from our own excesses.
Sad for some that this seems like such mysticism , but
a trip down to some of South Carolina's huge pig farms
would cure ( excuse the pun)
them that mass destruction of animals
is really an appalling reality ,
to the pollution of surrounding
streams with the 100,000's of
gallons of pig~urine
run-off.
To see animal rights as well as human rights
is the way of a whole human being . It is the ultimate
in "pro-choice" ...and the first Law of God of
every major "revealed" religion on the planet.
......" thou shall not kill "
It's not a matter of semantics ,
but actualized by reason and deepest contemplation
and was taught by the most sacred
of the enlightened Sages, Prophets,
Buddhas , Messiahs , and Philosophers
that have walked among us
as a species.
Rationalists would call the "Ideal"... religionist
would call it the "God" within us , and early man
would have known it as common sense or what is now known
as the "mystical".
