A Warning
Where are we headed? I remember a family from my home town. The father was mentally handicapped, unemployed, lived off of money given to him by the State. He was married of course—to a woman who was also mentally handicapped, blind, unemployed, also living off of money from the State. They had four children—each of which was mentally handicapped.
It begs the question then, how did we let this happen? How can we, as a fair society, allow this to happen? If we are ever to progress forward, how can we allow these people who do not have a chance in the world create MORE people who also will not have a chance in the world? These people are a drain on society. They produce no wealth, no service, but instead take money and support from you and me.
It seems to me that if we limited these poor, destitute people, who have such a low I.Q. that they cannot even perform mundane tasks, limited them in such a way that they could not produce more of the same destitute people, our nation could finally move forward. The apple does not fall far from the tree, right? It is unfortunately true. What is also unfortunately true is that the intelligent, wealthy families in the U.S. have 1-2 children per couple, whereas the poor, unintelligent citizenry with hereditary illnesses and diseases tend to have a MUCH larger number of offspring. We are headed to disaster.
What must be done then? Breed them out. Or rather, don’t let them propagate themselves. Think of the benefits to society that would be achieved if these people were no longer a tumor draining us of life? From a utilitarian standpoint, it’s what must be done. Why, oh why, has a society as great as ours let the family I spoke of at the opening have children at all? We sterilize rapists and should also sterilize the mentally retarded.
Sounds appalling? The Nazis believed in killing the sick as well. Where are we headed?
Excerpt from the “Law for the Prevention of Progeny with Hereditary Diseases”, July 14, 1933, Nazi Germany.
“Since the National Revolution public opinion has become increasingly preoccupied with questions of demographic policy and the continuing decline in the birthrate. However, it is not only the decline in population which is a cause for serious concern but equally the increasingly evident genetic composition of our people. Whereas the hereditarily healthy families have for the most part adopted a policy of having only one or two children, countless numbers of inferiors and those suffering from hereditary conditions are reproducing unrestrainedly while their sick and asocial offspring burden the community.”
“Euthanasia” of these persons began in 1939.

By the way, Hitler and the Nazi described these people as "life not worth having or continuing" and claimed to be doing it for the benefit of those they were killing. Sound familiar?
Also by the way, I don't feel so strongly about the Terri Shiavo situation, just thought it was a fun rant.
