I kind of agree with you, however, if you believe we are simply animals, simply the product of random mutations, it is not a far leap to believe that we might purge our species of undesirable genes, either by outright killing those we deem unsuitable, or making sure they cannot procreate.

The weaker of the species loses to the stronger of the species, that's Darwin's theory, right? Man is included.

Eugenics in the early years of the twentieth century was considered legitimate science not only in Germany but England, the US, and other countries with active scientific establishments. The principle of genetic selection is not totally invalid--just of very limited use and then only in isolated family histories of genetic disabilities such as Huntington's disease. It also must remain a totally voluntary decision made by informed parents, and relate not to euthanasia but to birth control and family planning. Racial eugenics simply does not work as the error term is too large.

So, what are you saying? Even if evolution is true we should keep quiet about it lest fools draw stupid conclusions from a description of nature? Best keep quiet about atomic theory too. Someone might build a bomb.
