        My father, a close friend of Crick associate Aaron Klug, was horrified to hear Crick in convo casually endorse euthanizing those w/low IQ

        To examine a life you must do it within the context that life was lived. You can’t judge the 18th by today’s standards

        did you even read the entire article linked where it clearly states that she got recognised for her contribution and the awards she recieved

        also if she hadn't died in 1958 from ovarian cancer she most likely would have received the Nobel also in 1962 but Nobel isn't a posthumous

        In fact, her work was in fact so central to Watson and Crick that they literally stole it from her lab. Ah but boys will be boys...

        Which they acknowledged in 1953 which is mentioned in the article and further on it states that Watson said he treated her unfairly

        don't get me wrong she should deserve all of the accolades for her work but to tear down Cricks statue or that of Gandhi is going to far

        Third rate minds always want to eliminate those with accomplishments they can't hope to achieve. The "isms" are a convenient excuse.
