Eugenics?
eu·gen·ics
n. - "The study of hereditary improvement of the human race by controlled selective breeding."
This idea started with Darwin's concept of "survival of the fittest."
Are you one of the "fittest?"
Do the strong crush the weak? Or do the strong protect the weak?
In its furthest savage reaches of chaotic "religion," eugenics says if a child is born with Down Syndrome, it does not have the right to live, because it pollutes the gene pool, it ensures a future weakness in the race of mankind. If a child develops a disease, one that will affect it for the rest of its life, then it should not be supported. In short, only the strong should survive.
An "unnatural selection" among humans. Only the strong survive.
What if you are determined not to be among the strong? Will you vote for such a project? Should you die if you are a man and not over the height of six feet? Should you die if your body contains more than 12 percent body fat, because your genes could corrupt the strong gene pool of the future?
"How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the younger, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant with both the weak and the strong, because someday in life you will have been one or all of these."
— George Washington Carver
"Whenever I hear anyone arguing for slavery, I feel a strong impulse to see it tried on him personally."
— Abraham Lincoln
