VHEMT (pronounced vehement) is a movement not an organization. It's a movement advanced by people who care about life on planet Earth. We're not just a bunch of misanthropes and anti-social, Malthusian misfits, taking morbid delight whenever disaster strikes humans. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Voluntary human extinction is the humanitarian alternative to human disasters.
We don't carry on about how the human race has shown itself to be a greedy, amoral parasite on the once-healthy face of this planet. That type of negativity offers no solution to the inexorable horrors which human activity is causing.
Rather, The Movement presents an encouraging alternative to the callous exploitation and wholesale destruction of Earth's ecology.
As VHEMT Volunteers know, the hopeful alternative to the extinction of millions of species of plants and animals is the voluntary extinction of one species: Homo sapiens... us.
Each time another one of us decides to not add another one of us to the burgeoning billions already squatting on this ravaged planet, another ray of hope shines through the gloom.
When every human chooses to stop breeding, Earth's biosphere will be allowed to return to its former glory, and all remaining creatures will be free to live, die, evolve (if they believe in evolution), and will perhaps pass away, as so many of Nature's "experiments" have done throughout the eons.

In theory many ideas have good intent, practically it's not quite as easy.
Something about a road to somewhere being paved with good intentions?
After much consideration, I find that the view is worth the asphyxiation.

I may disagree with what you have to say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.

If it's not about 'right and wrong' and there are no morals involved, then why are we spending so much time and effort dragging out the lives of the genetically deficient? For that matter, why do we allow criminals to breed and potentially pass on a predisposition for violent behavior to yet another generation? A 'master race' seems like a logical evolutionary step... But then, those pesky morals say that it isn't right for society to choose who breeds with who, and who's not allowed to reproduce. Or for that matter, who should die (for the most part).

Doc - it's 'all' about intentions at first and those of the Nazi clique has never been (the conditioned) "good".

I'll have to disagree about no one in the Nazi clique ever being 'good'. Hitler may not have been, and his high ranking officials may not have been, but for many many *many* people it was either join the Nazi's or die. Not everyone is as morally weak as you would think. Of course, maybe you think it's more noble to die than to work against the machine from inside.

If we as members of the human race practice meditation, we can transcend our fear, despair, and forgetfulness. Meditation is not an escape. It is the courage to look at reality with mindfulness and concentration. Thich Nhat Hanh
