Ok, Dawkin's letter shows NO approval for eugenics, just the opposite. Careful with the quote mining. Im not saying that no one in the world is a eugenecist, but chose the right ones. | Ok, Dawkin's letter shows NO approval for eugenics, just the opposite. Careful with the quote mining.

Singer is interesting...he makes ethical arguments about the sanctity of life, and creats a spectrum of sanctity. His ideas can be offensive, but he clearly states that killing is bad, just some killing is bad in different ways. He does not, as far as I can tell, speak of eugenics at all. You might consider leaving him out and finding a better example.[[User:Palmd001|PalMD]] 00:59, 27 March 2007 (EDT) | Singer is interesting...he makes ethical arguments about the sanctity of life, and creats a spectrum of sanctity.
