Abstract

Don’t we need to flatten the death rate that results from our differential valuation of human beings? In a curved universe, everyone is both in front of us and behind us, and always within our reach. I want to say that our wealth, our income, and our value accrue to us simply because we are all human beings – parts of a whole. Human beings have a right to life.
