Humans Are In Denial That They (we) Are A Renewable Resource
Humans are not scarce. We give ourselves rights and do everything we can to convince ourselves that we our special, but the truth is we are easily replaceable just like the livestock in which we eat.

Humans are dispensable. Much of our civilization's triumph and success is based on the sacrifice of human life.

Unfortunately we can afford it.

I must disagree. Actually, birthrates are going way down in many areas, particularly the westernized lands, at such low rates that population growth is in the minus column. Second, what has made cultures thrive is to define what it means to be a human most accurately. In cultures, where a human is considered just slightly different than a cow (of course in India cows are of greater value), the human situation has historically been quite depraved. How one defines what you and me are, intrinsically, makes all the difference in the world as to the important things in life such as freedoms, liberties, human rights, independence, etc. Etc. If we define ourselves to be the same as livestock and our culture agrees, then we will be treated and treat each other as such.
