Eugenicis is hardly "Darwinistic". At best it's a perversion of evolution, attempting to force-fit biological events to a social structure. Good point, Darwin proposed natural selection (well, he didn't like the term, but that's what we use). It seems to me that killing off or sterilizing certain people isn't exactly natural.

Well arguably it's scientifically "natural" (in that you inject someone with poison, gas them or shoot them in the head, "naturally" they die) but it isn't the intended meaning of the theory.

Darwin proposed natural selection No Darwin proposed eugenics in order to help natural selection along - just like Hitler - as the quote in post#132 amply proves.
