Furthermore, killing the sick or handicapped in the name of eugenics, is not only terribly brutal, but
also contributes nothing whatsoever to social progress. Such an open acceptance of murder will bring
enormous losses that will spell ruin for society. Today, some 6% of the world's population—some half a
billion people, a very large number—are handicapped. That would mean that everyone would lose

someone from his family or circle of acquaintances, and will have acquiesced in their deaths. This will
open spiritual wounds that wreak great harm on people's psychological well-being. In any society where
a mother cannot trust her children, children their mother, or brothers each other, where one can allow
another to be killed at any time, there will be severe degeneration and depression. In any case, a society

that kills people just because they are handicapped is undergoing a devastating moral collapse. It must
already have lost all spiritual values, all humanity. Without doubt, to claim progress by means of mur-
der indicates very serious mental and psychological problems.

If a society's needy are mistreated and abandoned to their
own devices, this leads to tension and
anger, unless patience and forgiveness
prevail, encouraged by religious
moral values.
