Sorcha BS: Eugenics -- evidence all around you (233* d) RE: BS: Eugenics -- evidence all around you 01 May 10

OK, Ick, I'll really address your 'issue'. Yes, it was rather common in the 50's to neuter all 'deficient' humans in the US. It came under a LOT of fire, and I don't think it is done anymore.

My mother worked in a residential hospital for 'chronically disabled' persons (read pretty much just dump them off and hope they die) Among the 'walking wounded' pregancy was a major headache for the staff. You can't watch them all time, so they just aborted ALL the babies and neutered all the residents.

Quite often the grandparents of the aborted baby didn't care a lot.

Let us HOPE that things have changed and for the better since then.

I think you really may have lit a fire under Spaw this time. I hope so.

Maybe I should have just cleared this instead of submitting...sorry.
