Euthanasia is the killing of someone with a condition or birth defect or retardation that makes them extremely different from other people. I don't mean skin color or appearance, I mean sever mental or brain problems.

Do you think that the murder of these people is ethical or not? And to whom should it apply?

would be genocide.


What's your point? That murder is bad? There is a thread about the greater good and the greater sacrifice. If we sacrifice a few to help many then ti would all be worth it.

Also, an IQ test consists of things you aren't going to know at the end of elementary school.


IQ tests are based on age; 10 year olds take different tests than 18 year olds would.

And what did mommy say about genocide?!


"Go to your room and think about what you've done!"

All life has value. Let people live and be happy.

It was even established the "The rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" need not be put in the American constitution because they are given and can't be taken away EVER. Though if you live in a different country, I'm not sure what your forefathers thought.

Well then, you can be the first to kill the ten year old who doesn't make the cut.

Good luck with that

I don't know who killing stupid people would help. Would it make your day more convenient, without having to interact with the less intelligent every now and again?

Some persons are dead and alive at the same moment machines can keep them only alive. If the ill person has no chance of recovery, only then can be used.

We've posted this before. It would stop them from reproducing and polluting the gene pool to pass on their stupidity to future generations.

Without a doubt it would. However, completely objectivity from life itself and a disregard for the basic principle that life is sacred is unacceptable, in my opinion.

I deal with stupid people every day of my life; does it make certain things harder to deal with? Yes, I suppose. Would I get rid of the nuisances of my life if I could? Yes, I would. Do I have to worry about them causing the downfall of society? Not at all.

Stupidity is due to poor education. Intelligence is not a trait that is passed on. Somebody with two stupid parents could possibly be a genius

You can become very educated, no matter what genes you get. It just may be harder for some people.

That's what Ipwnu is implying. Nobody has a set amount of inteligence. It's just if you are born with some sort of defect, then...

It just may be harder for some people.


Green's already said it for me.
