Sure. I'm very concerned about the balance. I am a business person. I have three corporations. I'm an entrepreneur. I'm also a conservationist, an environmentalist, and a biologist. Do we constantly need to re-evaluate our impacts and decide which ones are sustainable, which ones are acceptable? We do affect our environment in both positive and negative ways. As Mr. Watson said, at the end of the day, scientists are not going to decide this. It's going to be politicians who decide where that balance is, and that's appropriate.
