The eugenics Peter Singer and his ilk are promoting is the same nihilistic philosophy which prevailed before WWII. We need to remember how many human lives were exterminated because Hitler arbitrarily decided there was life unworthy of life. For utilitarian purposes the physically, mentally and intellectually challenged by the thousands were culled even before the war had started. Look what was happening in America.
America’s politicians were not the only ones to succumb to the eugenicist arguments calling for sterilization of those deemed feebleminded or delinquent. The courts also declared their support for eugenics. In the
*Buck v. Bell *decision at the end of the 1920’s, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld a 1924 Virginia eugenics law giving the state the right to forcibly sterilize where deemed necessary. The court allowed Virginia to sterilize the
defendant Carrie Buck, who had been designated as an “imbecile” because she had been born of a negligent mother and had an illegitimate child (who was later an honour student). It later became apparent that Carrie was institutionalized because her foster parents wished to avoid embarrassment after she had been made pregnant by their son.
Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes justified the decision, upheld by eight of the justices, saying, “It is better for all the world, if instead of waiting to execute degenerate offspring for crime, or let them starve for their imbecility, society can prevent those who are manifestly unfit from continuing their kind. . . three generations of imbeciles are enough.”

Yes. Soon there will be a “right to die,” to be followed by a “duty to die.” Can’t have all those old codgers hanging on forever, you know. It’ll be the final solution to the social security problem.

The disabled are already worried.

I still challenge you to give your opinion and your definition. We all ready know what Peter Singer thinks it is a well know and published definition.
