Professor,
First I would like to say interesting post and I hope that it starts some good conversation. I think that this question should also be answered after taking into consideration what Dexter said under the Big Brother thread. Since Darwin, society has always been about survival of the fittest--the only problem is that the criteria that are set up around this idea of "fitness" are somewhat arbitrary and have nothing to do really with a person's own innate ability to survive, particularly in this day and age. I also think that if we, humans, are as evolved as we claim to be then we should not be allowing any of our kind to perish under the guise of such a theory. Those of us who are "strong" should do our utmost to help the "weak". I think that I have made myself clear, but I can never be sure. If you want any clarification, please let me know.
