Would it matter if the human species went extinct tomorrow? I honestly think it wouldn't matter at all. We are a byproduct of the universe. If humans and the Earth in general just vanished, the universe would continue going on its way.

I haven't beaten the main questline because I keep wanting to try different characters. :( SWTOR doesn't help any, either.

You may as well be asking "if a tree falls in the woods and no one is around, does it make a sound?" That said pets would care. That's about it though.

Yes, it would matter to me. What kind of question is that? I don't understand these crazy "the Earth would be better off without us" ideas. News flash, the Earth doesn't have an opinion either way.

I think I need to go on a cruise.

This is the most perfect answer to why it would matter. Because people and other animals give their own lives meaning. Thats the meaning of living. If a zebra somwhere escaped a lion attack, the universe would not care. But the zebra would.

How about the nasty things people have done? You really think the galaxy would like 2Girls1Cup?

Sure, but we all have to accept that death is inevitable. Unless we all somehow turn ourselves into indestructible cyborgs. :P
