Keeping the throw-outs alive

Not all specimen extend to bloom.
In nature, there always grow more than survive in the end.
Well, if mankind achieved to keep them all alive, in conclusion... what did it actually accomplish at all with it?

I agree that it is absurd how people act so shocked when there is a death like it is unexpected.

I think I sort of believed what you said there.

The problem I see now though is that who makes the decision about who lives and who dies. If human life wasn't sacred then some huge hospital would decide to dump the elderly and disabled that are poor, but save the ones that came from wealthy families.

Also, cities would exterminate all their homeless. Once you got to that point, the abusers of power would throw in extra people because they are potentially getting in the way and they just aren't connected so no one will care.

I've worked with quadrapelegic kids that can't speak and it does feel like there is something there. I usually see things really objectively too. There have been cases where someone that was in a coma comes back and tells stories showing that they were aware.

Besides, humanity is doing basically nothing much important, so I don't think the more wealthy and powerful ones should decide who is worthless.

I think it works better to say something like: " I feel frustrated and worthless because the structure of society keeps me from fulfilling a potential and also everyone else is frustrated and worthless because of the structure of society".
