Like Glenn, I am very uncomfortable with the introduction
of the category "sub-human" into our classifications
of living beings. It opens a whole can of worms!

If one were to think it was a really necessary
classification, I'd try to be first in line to insist that
the attributes of differentiation be
quantitatively defined and scientifically
replicable.

I don't think they can be.
