Sorry, one more quick point. Given that the pre-disposition to
sickle-cell has been shown to be a consequence of a genetic resistance
to malaria and that this resistance is much more prevalent among people
who live in malaria prone regions and (whew) that a lot of these people
are what we like to call 'a different race' I suppose dumping loads of
malaria all over the world might select out those people from that
'race' as survivors. Sorta like if you forced everyone to eat twinkies
and slim jims only hackers would survive :-)

So what?

Are you saying that killing millions of people is immoral?

I don't think anyone is arguing.
