A bacteria has no consciousness. It can't feel pain. It's existence is basically as a biological machine that eats and reproduces. As far as I'm concerned a bacteria's only worth is in it's part in the natural "web of life". I could give a **** about bacteria. Plants are sort of just more complicated forms of that. I loves me some plants, but I'm not gonna be glad that my death is providing them with sustenance. I'm perfectly happy being selfish. It's my life, my body, and the rest of the universe can keep their ****ing hands off of it.
