============================================================
But although denying that we have a special position in the natural
world might seem becomingly modest in the eye of eternity, it might
also be used as an excuse for evading our responsibilities. The fact
is that no species has ever had such wholesale control over
everything on earth, living or dead, as we now have. That lays upon
us, whether we like it or not, an awesome responsibility. In our
hands now lies not only our own future, but that of all living
creatures with whom we share the earth.
