Question: Where is the line drawn on the greater good philosophy?

I can't think of a situation when that would apply. If the greater good includes all of humanity, then it would include everybody, which would also include at a higher level, all life forms, which would be animals, nature, physical forms.

If say a minority of some forms were genetically altered, and helping the vast majority who weren't altered would eliminate those minority, then that would be a case for eliminating the minority. Forces of nature would do that eventually, anyway. Nature has a pattern for life forms that manifest as evolution, and if those forms are blocked from evolving, everything stops evolving, and cosmic forces would eliminate the forms that block evolution.

Question: If integration has the highest success rate in raising minority kids out of poverty& from being "left-behind" why doesn't America do it?
