summarize the points made in the lecture about save all species that may become extinct, being sure to
explain how they cast doubt on the specific points made in the reading about safeguarding of endangered species .
The article states that the safeguarding of endangered species poses many drawbacks and provides three reasons of support. However, the lecture claims that extinction should be prevented whenever possible and refutes each of the author’s reasons.
First, the article argues that the extinction of a species will not lead to ecological disaster. The professor opposes this point by discussing the author’s example of the dinosaur. He states that the dinosaur’s extinction led to a shift of organisms that dominated the Earth. He then explains that since we currently dominate the Earth, we should save endangered species to preserve the current ecosystem that supports us.
Second, the reading claims that medicine no longer depends on nature for inspiration because of genetic engineering. The professor refutes this point by saying that 40% of prescription drugs are composed of natural material from plants. Only a small percentage of plants have been studied for their medical applications and everyday one hundred species become extinct, so each extinction represents a lost opportunity for medical research.
Third, the article posits that the huge cost of saving endangered species is not justified. The professor opposes this point by talking about the fresh water mussel. 43% of these organisms are or will become extinct, and those that are still prevalent support an industry that creates 10,000 jobs and adds 700 million dollars to the U.S. economy. According to the professor, these species along with many others deserve to be saved if only for economic reasons.
