[ No. He could say he’s just helping it along. More likely, he’d claim that it helps the survivability of the species as a whole, or that the movement for euthanasia is part of the evolution. He could also say that it doesn’t matter, as there is no actual purpose to any of it, but that would preclude advice one way or the other. How miserable. ]
That is the dumbest damned argument from Dawkins, Maybe if we have more downs kids we can have more drive to help the children and in the process of helping them we both learn more about genetics and brain development which would help solve other neurological disorders....
Eugenics is nothing more than a cheap lazy way to ELIMINATE genetic diversity and in the end you end up with a inbred monoculture of “genetically perfect” beings who can get wiped out by one virulent virus.... Just ask an Irish Potato Farmer of the late 1800’s....
By the same logic that getting rid of Down’s syndrome children is a good thing, then he ought to push the contention of the eugenicists that the very fit ought to be pressed strongly to reproduce in larger numbers.
