Broadly speaking, the ability of the park to control the spread of life-forms. Because the history of evolution is that life escapes all barriers. Life breaks free. Life expands to new territories. Painfully, perhaps even dangerously. But life finds a way.

The quote from Michael Crichton's "Jurassic Park" emphasizes the inherent struggle of living organisms to expand and thrive beyond their existing boundaries. It highlights the relentless nature of life, which seeks to overcome obstacles and inhabit new environments, even if it leads to unforeseen challenges. This phenomenon reflects evolution's core principle of adaptability and survival.

Crichton suggests that despite the park's attempts to manage and contain these life-forms, the fundamental drive of life is to break free and explore new territories. This idea serves as a reminder of the unpredictability of natural processes and the consequences of human intervention in complex ecosystems. It underlines a key theme in the narrative: the hubris of controlling nature and the inevitable consequences of that ambition.

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.
