There's a huge difference between government-mandated eugenics programs and private citizens making individual eugenic decisions on their own. It is intellectually dishonest to lump the two together. When Jewish couples screen themselves and/or their embryos for Tay-Sachs, that's eugenics, but it isn't Nazism. When couples who discover that they're carriers for cystic fibrosis decide to adopt instead of having biological children, that's eugenics, but it isn't Nazism.

The "deselected" embryos are just as much murder victims as anyone who ever entered Auchswitz by the gate and left through the chimney, and the "parents" are every bit as guilty as the death camp kapos who collaborated in the extermination of their own race.
Eugenics is precisely where Hitler started.

Woops--not amen! I re-read what you said and didn't understand at first you were talking about aborting.
