Would You like to comment on the following quotes from
Patricia MacCormack (The Ahuman Manifesto *)?
“Nothing
strains the earth more than human reproduction. That is why it is time to think
about other earthlings ”
And
“All I suggest is that we as a human species should
stop reproducing. My wish comes from compassion. Compassion with the earth, and
the earthlings. Also compassion for mankind ”
And so it is. Her remark that it is “time to think of
other earthlings by not reproducing at all” is of course for her more a
philosophical than a political manifesto. She does not advocate a totalitarian
state in which reproduction is prohibited.
Man is indeed engaged in a thousand ways with the
other earthlings. Which person on earth is not concerned with a garden, a
beautiful tree, a river nearby or pollution?
But mankind as a whole has become an all-destroying,
all-controlling, and all-wiping out earthling. And mankind propagates and grows
and burdens the other earthlings such as the plant and animal world to such an
extent that this cannot continue. And mankind is not intervening thoroughly
enough.
That is why she argues for a very thorough end to this.
And no more massive and excessive reproduction is a very reasonable wish. The
fact that she receives so much criticism has more to do with being “an old
school Gothic” and her touching one of the greatest taboos in mankind than with
the reasonableness of her suggestions.
And as said before, because mankind is not working
hard enough on this, Mother Nature will take on the correction.
Patricia MacCormack is blessed.
My blessings to you all
