Rayn: Frightening, indeed, Ari, and absolutely in violation of our basic human rights! Best believe that the MOMENT we re-legalize this sort of medical tyranny in America, we can more than expect the most egregious abuses imaginable to once again resume! One can wrap the “logic” of eugenics up in as much “science” as one likes, or feign the desire to “protect children,” but the end result is the unnecessary destruction of life, so in reality, it provably represents neither! Ideas like this are not “progressive” nor “caring,” but a dangerous mixture of arrogance, apathy, oppression and injustice! Disgusting!
