Do I dare say

First, I would like to share a personal project:

It very much pertains to what some people briefly brought up Tuesday about standardized testing and how just thinking about eating makes somebody gain weight (most of you laughed, but there is truth behind it).

Now I'll share some thoughts on the Davis article.  Interestingly, the supporters of eugenics, though originally may have had some intentions of reducing personal suffering caused by inherited diseases, argue more in terms of making a body "useful".  Forget just letting a person live their life to their fullest, they need to be functional for our businesses or military so we can later exploit the fruits of their dirty work.  Take a look at page 10, top of column 2 in the article.

This is much more apparent when it comes to race and gender.

"Slave, work the field!" "Woman, wash the dishes!"

Humanity has come a long way, but we still have a ways to go.
