Makes Kavorkian look almost sane. NOT!

Useless eaters....

I don't what anyone to take this the wrong way but WWII and the death camps prevented eugenics from becoming a US and British policy.

Once they were hit in the face with the unvarnished truth about where their current path was leading they, to their credit, abandon it.

But the evil lives on.

Thank you. Good to see you back on line.

That's true, before 1945, eugenics was advocated right across the political spectrum (yes, even by conservatives - Winston Churhill was one), but like you said, the Holocaust brought that crashing to the ground - thank G-d.

Have you read State Of Fear by Michael Crichton yet?

In the back he talks about the eugenics movement. I knew it was a major movement because of personal family history but I never knew just how big and how wide spread the belief was.

Teddy Roosevelt was a supporter. I never knew that.

You should be nicer on your first day here, you know.

Indeed. Aldous Huxley's Brave New World was written in the backdrop of that era - will we be Savages living on Reservations?

"The discrimination against "imperfect people" goes all the way back to the Levitical commandments in the Bible, that people with physical disabilities be barred from the Temple."

Discrimination, different treatment, is NOT the same as killing people.

"The discrimination against "imperfect people" goes all the way back to the Levitical commandments in the Bible, that people with physical disabilities be barred from the Temple."

Can you provide a source please? My search shows no results for "imperfect people" or even the word "imperfect" in the Authorized King James Bible.

(I keep a very useful concordance on my profile.)

I think he is referring to Leviticus 21 were it gives rules for the priests. Those who were deformed of the High Priest's family were not allowed to go into the Holy of Holies

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

They already tried that. We got out. :)
