Or maybe we would decide to kill those ones our society doesn't need or deemed flawed humans before they are even born.
On second thought Nope - I don't want your perfect world - The flaws in our imperfect world are what makes it interesting & worth living for. It is the fight of living we live for & not the perfection of death at the end.

That's among the most ludicrous and patently false statements you've attempted to foist off on this board.
All through human history examples abound of the "people in power" abusing that power.
Who sends the children of the disenfranchised to die in the wars that profit the elite?
Who orders the "disappearance' of whistle blowers whose actions threaten the power of the shadow government's deceptions?
Who, in fact, employs deception to encourage citizens to unwittingly give up their Constitutional rights against unreasonable search and seizure?
And who repeatedly obfuscates their arguments with twisted logic, ad hominem attacks and hyperbole in an attempt to sway the weak-minded to their presumptive and frankly arrogant positions on whatever the subject is at hand?
Balderdash!
