I don't see what that Salon article has to do with eugenics, nor that 'Some people are arguing that it is unethical to use such force to eliminate the "weaker" of human beings.'

The column is about whether squirting out a second brat will harm the environment. A few years ago Bill McKibbon devoted a whole book to the proposition called Why Not One? He was agonizing over whether to have a second little shit and eventually came to the conclusion that he was awesome for stopping at just the one (because of the environmental impacts). His argument was so compelling I was left thinking, Why not none, dude?
