Better Living Through Science?

The author of Let The Hammer Fall pointed this out to me. Isn't the detached, almost clinical description interesting? I thought the author was just trying to be accurate, but the last sentence shows his true leaning. This is another example of why faith an reason (or science and religion) have a link that only a fool pretends to ignore. Science gives us some control over our world, but on what do we base our decisions to use that control? This author seems to think that it is a good use of technology to prevent obese people from procreation, purportedly for their own good.

Nowhere does this author seriously ask if it's right, although it is implied that it is about time.
