Hmmm...I was thinking more of UG as far as Utilitarianism goes. Isn't he the one who professess to hold to this philosophy?

What comes to my mind also is natural selection. If the human mind will cope better without this emotional/ethical side, then why is it that through these functions of ethics and compassion that we've become the rulers of this planet? Surely these scientists have been caught up in their own cleverness to the point that they've been blinded to the reality of life as we know it.
