"The US is becoming more hostile to science, as it increasingly encourages abortion and euthanasia."

Abortion and euthanasia are ethical issues and scientific ones. This is a false argument against science, but not an uncommon one.

It wasn't an argument against science.

The question was "Is the US becoming hostile to science?"
I said that, "Yes, the US is becoming hostile to science. "

Killing people can be the easiest and cheapest way to solve some "problems."

Since killing is easy and cheap, there is less incentive to find particular helpful solutions for particular people.

Researchers are being discouraged, by a pro-death climate, from trying to help some people. There is little chance that researchers will search for solutions for some of the most difficult cases.

Therefore, I agree that the US is becoming hostile to science.
