It is a wicked sleight of hand to identify mankind's utilisation of 
natural processes with the enslavement of human beings. Nature has no 
preferences, nor personhood to suffer from being put to a better (read 
human) use. To say otherwise is mawkish sentimentality whose underlying 
meaning is that one hold's human life cheap.

Works of art don't have preferences or personhood either. Is it holding
human life cheap to shoot someone to keep them from destroying the Nike of
Samothrace, or blowing up the pyramids? (Not totally a rhetorical question.)
