What in hell ever gave you the idea you needed to be replaced????????????
Although, if the process of sterilization made you walk the walk, you may have a case for a malpractice suit...[/QUOTE]
LOL hehe As for replacing myself, that is the function of all living organisms. I contributed a 0 net gain, I could have gone forth and multiplied as my religion dictates 
[/QB][/QUOTE]So if you were an amoeba, would you go forth and divide? Would a Borg go forth and integrate?
Back on topic, I think any issues as far-reaching as global warming, and other potentially adverse ecological problems should be approached with caution foremost. To misquote Shakespeare, "The ecosystem is not only more complex than we imagine, it's more complex than we can imagine" I think it would be better to find in thirty years that we had spent effort on cleaning up our planet that may not have been necessary for survival rather than discover that we didn't spend effort when we should have. For example, if the degeneration of the biosphere proceeds geometrically, we may be alright, but if we assume that, only to find later that it's a logarithmic process, we're going to be very sorry.
