conscious beings. With them will go all value—economic
and otherwise. 94

or which we know nothing about. Professor Paul Ehrlich
makes the following comment:

scure to nonbiologists, play roles in ecological systems that
are essential to civilization. 95

Advances in technology have revealed a number of facts
concerning the importance of the diversity on Earth. Many

living things that were previously regarded as unimportant
or useless provide human beings with new blessings. For
example, a peculiar-looking marine worm contains chemi-

great benefits for humanity. For example, one species of
