Census

Do humans value human life? If humans were proud of human life and considered it valuable, they would be more aware of their numbers. Does anyone actually know the number of humans alive in their country, let alone the world? Google says there are 323.1 million people in the USA; 7.6 billion on Earth. Does the number round up or down? Humans without form springing into existence when the digit reaches point-five; currently living humans ceasing to exist when it is four or less, lives suddenly deemed an error of rounding.

It is too difficult to keep track of these things in real-time.

The same is said of bacteria on a microscope slide.
