How Dare we ask German citizens just what their role was in Concentration

I'm against genetic manipulation as well.
You know, I'm "Sorry" that we have to put the ethical implications of these
things in people's faces. It hurts, yes it does. You know why it hurts?
Because slaughter, torture, and enslavement just aren't nice things. And if we
are full of fire or inflammatory statements, then as a famous Abolitionist
said in response, "we have glaciers to melt". Social change is not always
easy, it's not always pleasant. Sometimes there is no easy way to put the
ethical implications of a person's actions in their face.
