It isnt just intelligence though is it.  It could be about compassion, empathy and the greater good.


And babies (and other severely mentally disabled individuals) don't have any of that.

Babies dont have empathy?  I disagree.

Anyhow, stupid people and mentally disabled people, downs sufferers for instance, can be every bit as emotional and compassionate as higly intelligent people, perhaps more so.

We have a brain that was capable of evolving, other species didnt, we are as close to being the gatekeepers of the planet as you can be if you like it or not.  Intelligence is the product of that evolution and not the reason for it. 

Short answer... we won the right.

 


Those are key words. They can be, but what if they aren't? Can humans who are proven to lack intelligence, compassion and empathy be slaughtered like animals, in your opinion? That appears to be your argument.
