So, what’s the problem? Why worry about generations to come? WE created the stuff, knowing that is was the deadliest material to ever exist, and that didn’t stop us. WE built forty-thousand hydrogen bomb warheads, knowing that they could destroy all of mankind, and that didn’t stop us. Montsano Corporation creates genetically modified organisms, knowing that one might mutate into something that could destroy us. WE don’t care about our OWN generation, why this great concern about generations to follow. If today’s astronomical cancer rate is a price we seem to think is worth paying for our modern life, then lets just dump this stuff at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean and forget about it. Humanity already has a long history of suicidal behavior and there’s no reason to start being responsible now. As the line from Blade Runner goes,”We’re stupid, and we’ll die”.
