The Right to Life for Humans.... part 2

The Right to Life for Humans.... part 2... re-posting.

Do we really need to give reasons why all human life has value?
Needs no explanation?
Oh, but it does.
It does because us humans are a predator species.
We are at the top of the predator chain.
And, as predators, some of us prey on those of our own kind.
Much more awareness of this aspect of our nature is needed.
The value of every single human life has to be upheld in order to defend it.

So in my former posting of  The Right to Life for Humans.... part 1,
I turned to sacred scripture for declarations of human life having value.
But these don't seem to be enough.
They don't satisfy or convince, and thus, they have not always worked.

If, ironically, we can list the benefits of the
Right to Life for Animals and Right to Life for Plants
so easily, why can't we list the benefits of humans on the planet?
We multiply like gremlins and we create war and destruction
for ourselves and other species. 

So, tell me the benefits of humans on Earth,
readers and commenters...
Help me uphold the Right to Life for Humans, as I declare it.
