(A) Disease and nuclear war won't cause the extinction of humanity.
(B) Your anthropocentricism is morally wrong besides being ultimately self-defeating. Do you think we have the right to superkill other species? If so, you should be spending your time protesting the Endangered Species Act of 1972. And thanks for the idea: the LHC is also in violation of the ESA. I'll be sure to pass this promising legal strategy on to Wagner and his friends.
