And why do you think that is "the next logical step"? It certainly was not in my mind when I created this thread, which was a reaction to your response to my post in your thread in which you focussed on what I suggested was a bad last resort to avoid catastrophe.
When we start treating people like cattle by forcefully taking away their basic rights by performing irreversible surgical operation on their bodies against their will, it can open up a whole can of worms. Eugenics being one of them.
And as PT and I both suspected would happen, someone already brought it up just a few pages into the thread.
EDIT TO ADD: And as you can see in the post made right after this one, a second person also seems to have no problem with it. I rest my case.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
