To chop or not to chop? That is the question?

Asked by dynamic3 (278points) May 23rd, 2010

This question was on an exam I had yesterday on bioethics and I thought it might do nicely for my first and it would be good to hear your opinions.

A wealthy brazilian land owner dies and leaves his land to the government. On the land is mature rainforest and thus the high biodiversity and abundance of life that goes with it. The land however is prime farming land and the crops that would be grown would have a high yield, providing benefit for the local economy. So to chop or not to chop, what would you do and why?
