You pretty much confirm Anthony’s warning about the mind-set of the ‘Malthusian’ mind – there’s only so much ‘pie’, people/I don’t want their/my piece to get smaller, so kill them off instead of sharing (or make more pie).

But you are still avoiding the issue – who decides what constitutes ‘defective’? Who decides who is ‘worthy of life’? We saw the results of such thinking when the Jews fell into the catagory of ‘unworthiness’. Try to wrap it in benevolence all you like, but it’s just a free pass for racism and genocide. And the ironic part is depending on the whims of those in the positions to call the shots you yourself may fall into the catagory of ‘unworthy of life’. Because whims and prejudices of individuals is what the ’standard’ becomes.

Well, the economic crash and peak oil are going to end welfare for real, Anthony, and then those who lacked the foresight to practice humane, eugenic sterilization will have the benefit of hindsight to see that the planet can’t support a bunch of defectives. The masses of defectives unfortunately will make it more difficult for those who are worthy of life to survive the coming resource crunch.

“What to do, when a ship carrying a hundred passengers suddenly capsizes and only one lifeboat? When the lifeboat is full, those who hate life will try to load it with more people and sink the lot. Those who love and respect life will take the ship’s axe and sever the extra hands that cling to the sides of the boat.”

Aha, we’ve gained the attention of white supremacists. Exciting. It always interests me when I see convergence between two apparently contradictory worldviews on a topic. Here we see how so-called ‘ultra-right wingers’ are actually very much like ‘far left libs.’

At any rate, thanks for visiting.

Regarding your latest, Eugenicist, ‘defective’ is being set apart to indicate that until it is defined, or until we have reached a shared definition, it is useless to use the word.

By citing the medical dictionary, you still haven’t evaded the issue.

Who decides what is ‘below the norm in structure’ ? On what basis? In order to know what is ’subnormal’ you surely must be able to clearly state what is ‘normal.’ And in order for that to be non-arbitrary, you must be able to provide your objective basis for that standard. Until you all have provided this, then ‘defective’ remains in quotes.

Oh, and in case you want to continue playing a game of words … sorry, I mean, in case you never learned what “normal” means either, you can page through a textbook on statistics to clear that up.

“Who decides what constitutes ‘defective’ in your view? And on what basis will they make their decision?”

How about we stop pretending that “defective” is something less than a real word?

That’s a great letter! I completely agree with Mr. Weddington! I myself have believed the same thing for years, and most people I know agree. Of course, they are browbeaten from openly stating this obvious truth:

There is no good reason to let defective people breed, much less breed as prolifically as they do. “Oh, the poor baby, we need to take care of it now that it exists.” Fine, but let’s minimize the phenomenon of “poor babies” in the first place for heaven’s sake! Duh!
