Perhaps you should edit the Wikipedia page on Moral Absolutism, in that case, as it does not agree with your semantic waffle. :tea:

The Nazis were not alone in their enthusiasm for all things eugenic ... they weren't even in the forefront of the eugenics "movement" in the first half of the 20th century:

... they just took it to a whole new level. One result of this association with the Nazis is that it can be very difficult to have any sort of reasoned debate about any law, proposal or anything else that has a whiff of eugenics about it.
