This is an interesting article, Samarkis, especially its outline of the history of the eugenics movement and those implications for NOW and since. Besides my fundamental objection to one human or group of humans choosing whether another lives or dies, I have one philosophical quibble:
Hegel was hijacked
(by idiots)
Dialectical reasoning is fascinating as a model of consciousness or even the electromagnetic universe. In Western religions, it bridges dualism with intangibles. In communications, it opens understanding the other. It's the effort or experience between A and B. Maybe it's a trinity! In magnetism, it's poles and what happens. In electricity it's charge and what happens. It's the knowing of opposites. In thermodynamics, it's heat and cold and what happens to physical movements of the universe...
Sometimes I think Reality IS synthesis, the space/energy
in-between.
"His Wissenschaft der Logik (Science of Logic) (1812-1816) attributes the unfolding of concepts of reality in terms of the pattern of dialectical reasoning (thesis — antithesis — synthesis) that Hegel believed to be the only method of progress in human thought, and Die Encyclopädie der philosophischen Wissenschaften im Grundrisse (Encyclopedia of the Philosophical Sciences) (1817) describes the application of this dialectic to all areas of human knowledge."
