Phase out the human race.
“If you haven’t given voluntary human extinction much thought before, the idea of a world with no people in it may seem strange. But, if you give it a chance, I think you might agree that the extinction of Homo sapiens would mean survival for millions, if not billions, of Earth-dwelling species. . . . Phasing out the human race will solve every problem on earth, social and environmental.â€
- David Foreman , Summer 1991.
Perhaps man should be extinct.
“[M]an is no more important than any other species. . . It may well take our extinction to set things straight.â€
- David Foreman
Humans are worthless.
“Human beings, as a species, have no more value than slugs.”
- John Davis , 1992.
Remolding society.
“[We must] remold society by redefining what it means to be a human being . . . [which will require] remaking the American way of politics, government, indeed life.”
- Hillary Clinton , 1993.
Some humans are inferior to nonhumans.
“Because many humans lack property of personhood or are less than full persons . . . they are thereby rendered equal or inferior in moral standing to some nonhumans. If this conclusion is defensible, we will need to rethink our traditional view that these unlucky humans cannot be treated in the way we relevantly treat similar nonhumans. For example, they might be aggressively used as human research subjects and sources of organs.”
- Tom Beauchamp , Fifth edition: February 2001.
