Really? I'll never think of circumcision again with the same attitude.
Eugenics is a very vile approach to human life. I assume it is related somewhat to Princeton University's professor Peter Singer who teaches a "doctrine" known as Specie-ism. Singer's belief is that no species is anymore important than another. That is a very fundamental definition, but I have never taken the time to look into it more than the very fundamental.
I guess believing that there is something special about being human is a fading thought in many intellectual circles.
