I took you off ignore at one point, I can't remember why. Time to correct that. Unfortunately, I can't erase your ugly comments from my memory.

Yes, it is. The weak and ill are culled from the gene pool. For obvious reasons: survival of the species.

Why are none of you considering the fact that in the grand scheme of things, this is how evolution works. Species' members get sick and die. Or are killed in a fatal accident/incident that's either not their fault, or they made a careless fatal mistake.

Any time the evolutionary process of natural selection is thwarted, it weakens the species as a whole. The species devolves rather than evolves. That's just scientific fact.
Let's get rid of antibiotics then. Let nature take it's course.

Our species is weakened since we rely on machines for agriculture.

Well, we can choose to be be emotional about it and devolve as a species. Or we can understand evolution and realize that the process of natural selection is a very necessary process for the survival of the species.

Wow, when our dog became ill and had life-saving surgery, I had no idea we were threatening the very existence of the canine species! Cool!
