Eugenics is not darwinistic

You keep denying what I have already given you proof of. Here it is again from post#132 so that all can see how evolutionists keep trying to cover up the truth by the repetition of lies:

With savages, the weak in body or mind are soon eliminated; and those that survive commonly exhibit a vigorous state of health. We civilised men, on the other hand, do our utmost to check the process of elimination; we build asylums for the imbecile, the maimed, and the sick; we institute poor-laws; and our medical men exert their utmost skill to save the life of every one to the last moment. There is reason to believe that vaccination has preserved thousands, who from a weak constitution would formerly have succumbed to small-pox. Thus the weak members of civilised societies propagate their kind. No one who has attended to the breeding of domestic animals will doubt that this must be highly injurious to the race of man. It is surprising how soon a want of care, or care wrongly directed, leads to the degeneration of a domestic race; but excepting in the case of man himself, hardly any one is so ignorant as to allow his worst animals to breed.
From: Darwin, "The Descent of Man", Chapter V.

And I ask again, where does Darwin propose killing the "weak"? Be specific, point out the exact sentence where Darwin advocates killing off "weak" people, where he explicitly states that it is something that should be done. I read the entire chapter from which you cited and I didn't see any proposals made anywhere.

Also explain how his philosophy regarding the consequences of human medicine on natural selection directly means that deliberately killing off the weak is at the heart of evolution.

There is no recommendation in your post #542, only an observation.
