According to Dawkins, the issue of who should be born comes down to a calculation based upon possible suffering. "Yes. Suffering should be avoided. [The abortion] cause[s] no suffering. Reduce suffering wherever you can."

What a bastard.

I wouldn’t want to be alone with him in an elevator. He’s frightening.

How can he know if another being is "suffereing?"

Because he's God?

Hi Richard. My name is Michael. And I'm smart enough to know you're wrong. Completely and totally wrong. But God still loves you ... and me!

Stunning! A man of his learning and he has no idea what the functions of the brain and spinal cord are, no clue what a nervous system is! I’m shocked; disgusted, too, to be sure, but shocked beyond belief!

Logical consequence of believing in “SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST”.

Strange that an atheist should tell the rest of us what is moral and immoral. If there is no God then nothing is immoral.

So is refusing to abort a baby carrying LGD genes.
His comments prove intelligence does not insure humanity. Aborting Down’s babies is itself immoral, doubly so for refusing to allow a doubly vulnerable the right to life.

The instant that God is declared dead, and science is the new god - huge extermination plans start taking place. Soon they will be killing based on amniotic gene analysis.

Didn’t we already see the Eugenicists and Nazis do this. It ended badly.

Those who refuse to learn from the mistakes of the past are condemned to repeat them.
