World summitry on reverence for life in the age of cosmic genealogy on Earth - proposed as a new cornerstone for the United Nations - owes its substantive character to genomically based forelaws of empathy and compassion . . . . . with notable significance attaching to the following (from The Recovery of Culture, 1949 - Henry Bailey Stevens):

"We are now caught on the edge of the abyss where we see desperately that we must be rid of war, but its chain reactions are difficult to break.  Without in any way ceasing our direct attack upon the institution, we may well consider the effects if we cut the umbilical cord to its mother evil, the animal abattoir . . . . .

"We have tried to operate a church and a schoolhouse at one end of the street and a slaughterhouse at the other, to fill our minds with kindness and our stomachs with tortured flesh; to teach peace and eat like beasts of prey.  But we have overlooked the moral in the story of Diomedes.  Each genration has run amok and torn us to pieces in turn for the urly lies which it has been taught - viz. that animals must be killed for food and people for military objectives."


Itself sustained and emboldened by scientific research validating the biological basis for human cooperation (Emory University) - like the first mission designed to search specifically for terrestrial-like planets (Kepler, 2009) - world summitry on reverence for life is testament to the quintessential unity and unfolding aspirations of all humanity:  (a)  a healthful, sustainable environment for every planetary citizen, (b) universal health care publicly supported, (c) education for all based upon individual capability, (d) creative/productive employment for every planetary citizen, (e) post-retirement security.
