Does it confuse us? We so often speak of death as a sort of choice we have but fail to rise to. The language we use, such as "she lost the battle" and "failure to thrive" support this.

So much of what overpopulation impact entails is indirect relationships. And it’s very human to be a lot more comfortable with direct relationships. If A happens, then B results. We like that.
