I was talking about eugenics. I was using prison as an example of something else that, on the surface of it, seems wicked and undependable: I'm going to take you against your will, lock you away with a bunch of people who are victims of their most base instincts, decide when you can work, walk, eat, etc... It sounds wrong, but we do it because we know the alternative is worse.

I was saying: Sometimes the tool itself isn't evil, it's the application of it. On the topic of which, I agree with your initial statement. I may not consider the tool evil, but I don't know a soul on earth I'd trust to wield it right.
