I can think of one obvious counter example.

"Obama’s Science Czar Said a Born Baby ‘Will Ultimately Develop Into a Human Being’"

Whoo-boy! You gotta get up pretty early in the morning to put anything past the Obama Admin.

[duckman]

Glad he cleared that up. I had my doubts. (sarc)

[G Larry]

What do the ones who are not “properly socialized” turn into?

[cblue55]

The quantity and quality of intelligence that comes from this Administration is truly mind boggling - worse than I thought.

[HIDEK6]

Folks, this guy is setting the foundation for legalized infanticide.

[RexBeach]

This is just plain creepy.

[allmost]

Leftists see people as things. The man can look at a 6 month old and say it isn’t human. That’s simply deranged. The part about “and given the essential early socializing experiences “ is quite telling. If they are raised the way he thinks is right, they are humans. If he doesn’t like their mindset, they are not. What a twisted bastard.

"a newborn child “will ultimately develop into a human being” if he or she is properly fed and socialized. "

And if the baby ISNT properly fed or "socialized", it goes up to be something entirely different...

[Damifino]

Think about it before you say this is stating the obvious... This is NOT!

What the effect of this is: The baby before it is born and some time after is not human. It apparently takes some time before the "thing" develops into one.

Don't allow this type of foolish talk. It opens the door to legitimize abortion and presumably infanticide. Just sick.

[lgjhn23]

Wow. The genius and intelligence the oozes forth from this administration to enlighten those of us that dwell amongst the “unwashed masses” is truly amazing. We should be thankful.....\s

[Zeddicus]

I don’t suppose he details his definition of what constitutes “proper socialization”, hmm?

Wasn’t there a period of time, not so long ago, where skin color made some people less human than others? What is the difference between this and some arbitrary definition of “proper socialization” to determine one’s humanity?

Wow. Just, wow.

It's too bad that Holdren started out as a human and turned into a monster.

[agere_contra]

Menegele.

What next, will Bambi appoint an ‘Adequate socialization Czar’?

[J40000]

These folks make Neanderthals seem clever, warm and charming.

[Fred Hayek]

And where does this go? Conservatives are not human. Yes, that would be the “logical leap” these heirs of Lysenko would take.

[agere_contra]

Holdren co-authored the book with Stanford professors Paul R. Ehrlich

Ehrlich, the most fatuously wrong scientist of all time? The man who predicted the world-wide famines that killed 90% of us in the 70's, but which so few of us can remember?

[agere_contra]

Just to be clear: babies are fully human from the moment of conception Holdren you murderous piece of cr*p.

Don't give us this mealy-mouthed Molochspeak.

[Texas resident]

Did this apply to his kids? Just wondering.

[driftdiver]

Well this guy still hasn’t
