I'm with you on that 100%. Once upon a time, no one would have questioned that position. What has happened to people that so many of them nowadays adopt the opposition position, or demand that you adopt it so they can walk all over you and destroy your family?

Maybe it's a pendulum thing-- even longer ago, imperfect kids were killed by exposure....

I don't get it. I just get that I'm gonna defend my family.

The children who were exposed at birth were often picked up by someone who had no children and wanted them. And children past infancy weren't exposed, and their familes fought to protect them just as you would. But I don't like the idea of infanticide, either. -- What eugenicists and genocidalists are into is eliminating populations they consider "unfit," whether those populations are really unfit or not. It's part power-trip and part attempts, at least unconsciously, to eliminate potential competition. I don't think anyone has the right to do that, to decide, e.g., "You'll live because you have blue eyes, and you will die because your eyes are brown." Or anything like that. God-trips on the part of mortal human beings are generally ugly, vicious, and murderous, and end badly for all concerned (as in, e.g., World War II, which tore the world up considerably).

Yep. Anytime someone decides another human isn't a person, there's trouble.

How exactly are we defining "harm" here?

I ask because in my callow youth someone of my acquaintance tried to beat me to a pulp because I was telling people what an obnoxious prat he was.

He seemed to take extreme umbrage at my besmirching his reputation, despite the fact that he was, in fact, an obnoxious prat.

Pride isn't life... even though a lot of folks seem to think it is!
