    The ethics of preserving or extinguishing species
    (Colorado State University. Libraries, 2012-11-07) Cafaro, Philip, speaker
    Currently humanity is extinguishing Earth's species at a rate not seen in 65 million years, since a meteor wiped out the dinosaurs. Is that wrong? If so, how wrong? This talk asks how much people should be willing to give up in order to end the 6th mass extinction, and whether there is room on Earth for the flourishing of human beings and the rest of life.
