it's not ours in the first place. animals will just do what comes instictively, like search for food. humans are the only ones with rational thought and should be held to higher morals.
but again as mentioned, HOW do you choose who goes and who stays?
and maybe most importantly, WHO gets to choose? a man or woman? a white/black/asian/latino/etc. person?
by doing so, you are ultimately playing god and controlling other people's destinies for them.
there was mention of contribution to society. should that necessarily mean money? what about people who were born with disabilities that was completely out of their control? don't they have just as much of a chance to try to live a productive life as someone with all their parts intact/functioning?
why do you look at the splinter in your brother's eye, and not notice the beam which is in your own eye?
