CHAPTER

This chapter explores the philosophical dilemmas surrounding human existence as presented in Todd May's book 'Should We Go Extinct?'.

Through contrasting ethical frameworks, the discussion raises profound questions about whether humanity's contributions justify the harm inflicted on the planet and its inhabitants.
