A winner of the Nobel Prize, this billionaire biologist has been criticized
for making a sperm bank which requires both its depositors and its clients
to have high IQ numbers. This is so that, on average, people will be more
intelligent in the future. Some have remarked that this is "unfair to dumb
people." Some have said that he is like Adolf Hitler in attempting to create
a "master race." These people fail to see is a gigantic difference that
is as
obvious as daylight: that Hitler tried to create a "master race" by killing
millions of people, while Robert Klark Graham has created hundreds of
lives of varying races and ethnic groups all by voluntary means. Hitler
relied on force and genocide; Graham relied on freedom and persuasion,
and didn't kill a single person. Comparing the two of them is just plain
stupid, to say the least.
