Humanity, being a collective term, doesn't have much to do with the individual. Humanity could die, but as long as I am here, I will try to live to old age. If humanity dies after I die, then why should I care?
I am not saying that humanity can't terminate. I am just asking why should we believe that we will be extinct?

Why shouldn't we? Well, more importantly why should we blindly believe that our race will go on forever? I think this is the exact type of superior thinking and beliefs that has got us trashing our planet to ruins. Many of other animals have gone extinct, why not us? Because of our "complex" way of living? I'm not trying to argue with you because I'm well-aware and highly support the fact that we all have our own opinions, but something about "If humanity dies after I die, then why should I care?" made me very, very sad. Perhaps it is because I can be too empathetic for my own good sometimes. If you think about it, though - if ever we diminished as a race, it will be our own fault.
