Nature recovers rather rapidly minus the parasites. Cherynobyl has become a wild life haven. Several species not seen in the area for 50 years have returned and are thriving. The entire eco system has rejuvenated itself. Save the parasites whose birth defects and cancer rates have shot up 400 fold. It is the same insensitivity about things other than oneself, that tries to promote various schemes of short term convenience, irrespective of it's consequence to others. If all the users of power were to be saddled with cancer and defective kids, or in our ID case have their near and dear ones receiving the midnight knock, they would not be so gung ho about such schemes. The underlying meme is to treat others as consumers to be handed down fixes - force fed if needed. Not participants and equals in contributing and building a society.
