No one can honestly say that our society should execute the retarded.  As Martin Niemöller said "   

 "In Germany, they came first for the Communists, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist;

    And then they came for the trade unionists, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist;

    And then they came for the Jews, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew;

    And then . . . they came for me . . . And by that time there was no one left to speak up."


Anyone who has posted that we murder the handicapped is simply trying to stir the pot here.  Oh... I guess I took the bait took.

Yeah, I suppose you did.

I'd imagine that liberals would agree that if over half of the voters favor it, then the mentally handicapped are toast. At least, the liberals I've talked to think that it's perfectly okay to take away other rights (such as property rights) if over half the voters decide to do so.

For myself, I accept human rights; that is, the right of every person to be secure in their life, liberty, and property so long as they do not violate the equal rights of others. Unless a mentally handicapped person represents an actual threat to others, they have a right to exist. However, that does not mean anyone is obligated to support that person. If no one undertakes his or her care, then the person may starve.

I'm of the opinion that we as individuals have a moral--but not legal--responsibility to care for those unable to care for themselves. But, charity is not the work of government.

over the weekend I took a boat tour of Cumberland Island, Georgia.  A long island owned partly by the Carnegies, which has wild horses on it.  Lots of horses, short life spans from eating "salt grass", lots of inbreeding.

Watching the horses gallop around, we came upon one on the shore. . . a retarded horse.  The tour guide said that this horse has been on the beach for 3 or 4 days, and that it was barely alive.  It sat by itself on the beach, and it would be there until it died.  No one removed the horse from the fields. . . the horse wandered away slowly over time when the others moved on.  Survival of the fittest.

It's sad, what I would have given to put the horse out of its misery.  People of course, you can't just kill or remove from society by force.  I would most generously give to charities that worked to take care of the retarded and mentally handicapped.  I believe that all life is precious, even that of a retarded person.  That being said, I would never ever ever use force to make another person pay against their will to these types of organizations.  I would most likely lobby my neighbors to do so.

I was about to say that I will respect the property rights of any being which can communicate to me that it has those rights.

But now I'm confused.

If a 75/25% human/chimp tells me "me has property rights", it's certainly communicating to me that it has property rights, right? If a 75/25% chimp/human thing has a banana and when I try to take it, it hollers and beats me up, is it communicating to me the fact that it has property rights? What about, if I try to kill a pig and it runs away from me, is it communicating to me that it has a right to life?

Where's the dividing line? Is there a better criteria for which beings should be given property rights?

What about just sterilizing the mentally feeble?

That's humane, AND good for humanity in general.
