      do you see that these studies on biological differences are most cited by ppl who are racist & sexist to justify inequality?

          If I proved that generating all humans without parents, reduces the population's suffering, would you endorse it? @kirtipatelmd

          Curious as to where you put ideas like human rights in this framework. Moral fashion? Because it's not universal.
