We're not deciding your humanity, I'll leave that to Aramir. Sentience is what I value, and animals to an extent are sentient, so should be valued to an extent - a lesser extent, but an extent no less. I have no problem with killing them for food, however, if that's what they were born for and it's without pain (they don't really think about their conditions, so as long as you don't grossly mistreat them, they don't even know they're going to die and if you do it quickly they don't feel and fear, pain, etc.). As for mentally retarded people, it depends upon the extent of the problem. If their existence is so sad that they're on the level of animal, we still have no real reason to kill them. Lots of things are liabilities to society, and while this is technically one of them, supporting them will probably not harm the economy, and for what it's worth they'll be in the vast majority (nigh all I dare say) more sentient than animals and able to think more abstractly.

Now, if anyone truly is an inconvenience and a liability to society, then yes, there is no point in your existence. That doesn't mean to say they should be killed, but perhaps lowering the amount the government pays for maintenance perhaps.

As for Naziism, there are a lot of things you could call Naziism, so while you're going to say you're not accusing us, we all can see that you're trying to.
