Well at least you have been thinking about it and trying to reconcile the ideological discourse within it. I too have had to do this, but I landed where I did- not everyone can, should our would be saved. I had to look deep into human history to see that this is a theme that plays out time and time again. It shaped us and the world probably more than any other single ideological conundrum. It's a part of life to make hard choices. Eugenics is exactly that kind of ideological conundrum. I haven't decided that one yet because it isn't based on one's own decisions but instead on factors they may have absolutely no control over. Those are a different kind of egg that might not go in your omelet but might still be worth putting in your cake.
Anyway, there's no real answers to be found here. We just have to decide for ourselves what our beliefs and goals are. Your will differ from mine, no doubt, but it is important that we each find our own and work towards their nurturing and fulfillment. We're not enemies, even the boomers, but we're not aligned or allied either. We're just one our own paths for our own reasons and sometimes they combine and other times they cross as they meander on into the distance. It is what it is. We're not the first to find ourselves here and we won't be the last. It just is what it has been, is and will be.
