Today is Charles Darwin's 198th birthday, and a day to reflect on the scientific, social and moral heritage brought about by his theory of evolution. David Klinghoffer, in his Weekly Standard column, scratches the surface by noting Darwin's role in the modern eugenics movement, infanticide ala Peter Singer, and coerced sterilization. Add to the list abortion, euthanasia, assisted suicide, and genocide and one might begin to wonder what the celebration of Darwin Day is all about.
