  14. QUESTION: Viewpoints Should we care whether a species goes extinct? • Yes, because all life is important and valuable. • Yes, because we are causing this wave of extinction, so we should fix it. • We should not, because it’s natural. • I don’t care; it really does not affect me.

  15. QUESTION: Viewpoints Should we care whether a species goes extinct? Yes, because all life is important and valuable. Yes, because we are causing this wave of extinction, so we should fix it. We should not, because it’s natural. I don’t care; it really does not affect me.

  16. QUESTION: Weighing the Issues Do you think humans are subject to limiting factors and, ultimately, a fixed carrying capacity? • Yes, although we have raised the carrying capacity, there are limits to the number of humans Earth can support. • Yes, but technology will keep raising the carrying capacity, so it’s not much of a problem. • No, humans are no longer constrained by environmental limits, due to our technology and ability to manipulate the environment. • I don’t care; it really does not affect me.
