Gabe, shame. I figured you were smarter than to pull out the "perfect world" argument, as there is nothing more subjective than the concept of a utopia.
In general, the idea of a perfect world is one without disease or murder. But unless we did have limited breeding, or some form of culling (ala Logan's Run), we would become incredibly overpopulated without nature's ability to pick off those of us who are not meant for survival. I am by no means a humanist, and I think the idea that humans are above nature because of our technological prowess is sick.

Yes, but in this sense that would be part of the perfect world. My only point here is that killing is wrong. No one deserves death for whatever purpose. Anyway, I'm just hoping down the line we'll have the means to spred to Mars. Carl Sagan once said humanity is too fragile to keep on a single planet.
Cowboy Bebop would be evidence of that. As for right now, with Swine Flu, global warming, and social and economic unrest, I'd say there's plenty of death in store for humanity in the near future. I'll do my part by not having kids and choosing to adopt if I do choose to become a father.
