91. No, it is quite rational.

Although I'm pro-choice, it is entirely rational trying to protect unborn, innocent lives who may or may not turnout to be evil.

On the other hands, evil does exist among us bearing the physical human form, but their brain is nothing like what makes us human, a species that can empathize the pain and suffering of the others.

it is the gene that helps us forming human society.

But deleterious genes do exist, like cancerous genes, heart-disease gene. The gene that causes dysfunction in the brain that enables our sense of empathy manifests itslef in many of these creatures. They have no conscience, no sense of pain of others and even find satisfaction to inflict it.

They are better off eradicated from human society.
