Oops... The word "be" got kicked out while I was trying to fit the question into the space allotted...

But seriously, I'm wondering what the big deal really is if the human race is not perpetuated? What difference does it make in the grand scheme of the universe?
Keyvan - You have deftly proven through your answer here that you have completely missed the boat as to what real conservatives think and believe. It's got nothing to do with God or money. It has everything to do with the personal freedom to choose to go after God or money. Big difference.
 
Good conservative thinking. It doesn't matter, because people don't matter. I like your phrase "grand scheme of the universe"- what is the universe without people.

We aren't in charge of weather we live or die, that is part of a much bigger scheme of things...we were not present when the dinosaurs died off, when our time is up, nothing we do or don't do will stop it.

nothing.
You see, for all of us reading this right this moment, life as we
now know it will be over in 120 years.
Proof? Do you know anyone over 129 years old?
We should clean up after ourselves and leave nothing but our foot prints
