Vote 1
Society is made better by the exchange of ideas. But to forcibly compel a person to adopt your ideas as their own removes the benefits wrought by discourse. It is the journey to knowledge that brings personal and societal growth.

Paul Hilbert

Vote 2
Only you should choose who or what to consider as more important than your own life. It should never be chosen for you. We are our own masters.

Vote 2
No person should control or coerce another person.

Nature is the larger community to which we are all members. We need not revere nature as superior to ourselves, but we ought to strive toward treating nature with dignity. To exhaust nature would be to condemn our descendants.

Essentially, we are a mechanism to help advance entropy; strictly speaking, propagating and producing descendant generations is the duty of lifeforms. But, living life is also to say that we must seek out experiences and immerse ourselves in the human condition.
