Essential Question Response #2

Do human beings have a responsibility to better the Human race?

I definitely believe that humans have a responsibility to better the human race. All individuals of a species have a responsibility to better their species. Organisms are constantly doing this through evolution and natural selection; the most elite of the organisms pass their genes forward, creating an even stronger generation than before. My idea of bettering the human race is a little different than just evolution. I believe that we can better the human race not by passing our genes forward, but rather our knowledge. In a time of reason, a true equilibrium could be reached. A time where everyone is equal at birth and can create either a life of greatness or sorrow depending on their own decisions. We will never be invincible (that is just stupid), but we can allow ourselves to be able to sustain our race in perfect balance with the world and each other.
