Stalin was famous for that, I believe, along with deciding that Jews were not persons.

Cute. I knew that spin and comparison was coming,although I expected the usual "Nazi" allusion. I am anti-abortion in most instances,but people like you tend to make me see the other side as being more rational,as you try to cram your blind propoganda down my throat.

Sorry you 'feel' that way ... no one is trying to cram anything down your throat. Swallow what you will, no matter how poisonous to your mind's reasoning capacity.

The analogy is not propaganda: one group of humans decides another group is not "persons" and proceeds to kill the "non-persons."

Human history is full of the injustice of discrimination, usually for the supposed, and shor-term -benefit of the one(s) in power. Science fiction, a sort of alternative future-history is equally rich with examples. The Truth is a recurring theme: humans do not kill and exploit other human lives without risking their own life, liberty and property. Because when the inalienable rights are weak, the strong will be the ones defining "person."
