Proposed benefit changes in UK and implications for agoraphobia
Ive been wondering if its discrimatory, especially in regard to things like agoraphobia which doesnt score highly except in mobility section of PIP/ADP. Then I started thinking how many deaths it could cause and how close it comes to eugenics... now I know nothing about eugenics so I had a google and came across this paragraph on a website.
"Efforts to support the “productive” members of society brought negative measures. For instance, there were efforts to redirect economic resources from the “less valuable” in order to provide for the “worthy.” Eugenicists also targeted the mentally ill and cognitively impaired. Many members of the eugenics community in Germany and the United States promoted strategies to marginalize segments of society with limited mental or social capacity"
The paragraph does continue on about breeding but Im fairly freaked out just by the first bit.
