"to think like a human being," then he really will achieve a posi-
tion inferior to that of animals—because animals show great sol-

idarity and cooperation. (For detailed information, see Harun

Ross is not the only Social Darwinist to place scant value on
human life. A great many share his terrifying ideas. For exam-
ple, the evolutionist Peter Singer, Princeton University's profes-
sor of bioethics, goes so far as to say that people with severe
physical handicaps must be regarded as unworthy of life. He ex-
pressed this cruel opinion in the following terms:
If we compare a severely defective human infant with ... a dog or
a pig, for example, we will often find the nonhuman to have su-
perior capacities... Only the fact that the defective infant is a
member of the species Homo sapiens leads it to be treated differ-
ently from the dog or pig. Species alone, however, is not morally
relevant... 177
Singer went even further and said that the mentally handi-

capped might be killed in scientific experiments or even for food
purposes! Singer's exact words are:
Mental defectives do not have a right to life, and therefore might
be killed for food – if we should develop a taste for human flesh –
or for the purpose of scientific experimentation. 178
Even such revolting and savage behavior can be supported
in Darwinist logic. Joseph Fletcher, former president of the Right
to Die Society, makes a similar claim regarding the mentally
handicapped:

Humans without some minimum of intelligence or mental capac-
ity are not persons, no matter how many of their organs are ac-
tive, no matter how spontaneous their living processes ... [Idiots]
are not, never were, and never will be in any degree responsible.
Idiots, that is to say, are not human. 179
