Yeah, that hurts scientific people to hear.

It was founded on *pure* science (sharing the same rationale as euthanasia at
that time) - Darwin's theories. The world at that time still had to learn that
science without morals is barbaric and cold right to the core.

The whole world, by the way. "Survival of the fittest"-type of thinking was very
popular back then all across the globe. Nazi-German excelled in it though.

Leaving aside that science did develop the means for gassing an incredible lot
of people, the *motivation* for these acts were firmly based on darwinism,
whether you like to hear that or not.

Very simple to type that as a response instead of really trying to grasp a
point.

I rather think you are refusing to accept the term "science" in the sense I'm
using it, because you don't like it being called a religion, and thrown from
its steeple.
