It's a small step from what you're proposing to euthanizing "unwanted" or "unproductive" parts of the population. Are you sure you want to go down that path?

- saiya-jin 10y agomy point was only concerning the case above - somebody intentionally, even brutally kills someone closest to you. I never suggested scaling it up to anyone else, liked or not, from where did you get that?
- lorenzhs 10y agoOh I'm not insinuating that you do! But you do make an argument about quality of persons in the context of preserving life. That's a very dangerous path to go down.
- saiya-jin 10y agoindeed it is, but in the scenario above, rationality wouldn't be the strongest part of most humans, me including. All this topic is ridiculous and I hope that none of us would ever be facing anything similar. But if we would, this kind of rationalization would keep at least me sane afterwards... or so I think.
- tremon 10y agoIt's not matter of if, but how far the US is willing to go down that path.
