interesting

would you be willing to take the first step and make the world a better place?

Well I guess if my family decides I am a burden to them then I guess I would have no choice. For instance, if I became an abusive alcoholic like my father, or I molested my own children like some animals, then I would understand if they decided they would be better off if I was terminated. I dont really like to call it murder anymore. That sounds so harsh.

I guess death would be a better altnerative to what they would do to you in prison if you molested your own children.

I cannot believe the posts I have read that agree with this. You all really think this is the way to make the world a better place? The talk of burdens of handicapped or old family members, that is the biggest crock I've heard all week. Whatever happened to sticking with the family no matter what? Maybe it's a white thing to view family members as burdens and my hispanic is coming out. We look out for one in another in our families and stick together no matter what, that is how it is like in my family and all others. Selfishness is what I see here.

The day you decide to become a family man, you take up that responsiblity fully, no matter how normal or unnormal your kids are, and you respect the elderly in your family too. They have lived a long life and have a lot of wisdom to share. But I guess if you have an autistic child, or you have a kid in a wheelchair that needs help getting into the bathroom, it's such a horrible burden that you have to miss sitting on your butts watching some pointless tv show, or some playoff game on tv is more important and such interuptions are just to much to handle.

Then there's the talk of getting rid of those who aren't contributing to society, using up money. Stop there, for one, the powers that be, as well as the people, have created society. Money is a made man thing that is obviously turning people insane enough to use nazi ideas just to save a few bucks! Medical costs? They are set to out of this world prices because the powers that be have made it that way, so now it has eventually created a rift among the people as well as division, bitterness, and a lot of holier than thou attitudes.

Also, the healthcare system only makes you better enough to be sick again, so chances are they have cures for many diseases that are causing disablity but why bring out the cure if you can be fitlhy rich selling medicines? The problem isn't the ones being called burdens of society, it's the system and how it's set up that needs to be changed. It has gotten huge and is expanding even more, and it gets more corrupt by the day. This is the lazy and simple way of trying to improve the so called system, and it is not the answer.

Also, what makes you think that this would only stop at terminating the handicapped, elderly, drug addicts, alcohalics, murderers, rapists, so on and so forth? Once all of them are out of the picture, guess where the next step towards "making the world a better place" will be? If you haven't guessed, the next step will be to decide to terminate all men who are under the "acceptable" height of 6'1, if you aren't a natural athlete, then you are to be terminated, if your test scores (genius level by our current standards) would be low against all of those who are "superior" then they must be terminated immediately because they are too stupid to live in this world. If a man or woman is considered to be not attractive enough, because the standards have to be where every woman has to look like a supermodel, as does all men, then those who are not quite there, look average, are to me terminated at once! Do you see the pattern? The idea might be considered good at the start, but has a way of completely turning this into something more sinister than we can think possible.

Ah the contorted values of the current age, dare to mention colour and people jump on the badwagon of righteous indignation. Speak about the humane and democratic disposal of the inconveniently old/disabled/conceived and the number of fools who seriously give it consideration or commendation is appallingly telling.

Fair play to Darth for asking if it might be a "white thing." I'm a white man and I'm pondering how the "civilised" west has got itself into a predicament where Nazi ideals actually won the war - it took them 60 years and they've replaced Nuremberg and jack boots with ACLU and sandals but the result is the same.

Innocents are slaughtered and their corpses utilised - babies not Jews this time and "therapeutic treatments" not lampshades but the same thing.

Grow up world.

Boy, I read the first post and couldn't agree more. Eugenics is such an important subject that isn't discussed enough.

I actually heard that there is a nationwide policy going into effect that is similar. All people will be given a mandatory IQ test and everyone that scores below 115 will be euthanized. The original plan was for sterilization but this really wasn't going to weed out the useless eaters quickly enough.

So OP, uh, I guess I'll see you around?

maybe

Thats bull, they wont weed out the "less intelligent". Define IQ, i think you'll find that on an average, people get further in life by having a high emotion IQ rather than just IQ. Iq is tested, but there are cetain factors some people are better at.

Eugenics is not discussed because it really is not justifiable.
