As I discussed in Class I believe Dr. Manhattan's responsibility is to protect laura, but after they break up he feels he does not have that responsibility to her or the human race. Laura goes to Mars to bring back Manhattan but he states she was the only thing he cared about and that he is not responsible for the human race. He says he is responsible for protecting what is special and that the things on Mars are special and need protection. However with a bit of chatting Dr. Manhattan realizes that humans are special because they are the result of one sperm and egg connecting successfully. Dr. Manhattan is a bit fickle in my opinion, because he is the most powerful living creature he has no way to relate things or reason in a way anyone else understands, or even which he understands. I think Dr. Manhattan was a very confused individual who should have been in therapy.
