I definitely agree with the fact that weaker people also have something to offer. Like the fact that those starving farmers in African, Asia and heck, even our own poor (but not yet starving) farmers contributed greatly to society when they overtaxed their lands so that richer and often whiter people could enjoy the food they produced.
That being said, too many people are arguing a single side of the issue here so I'm going to attempt to play the devil's advocate. Eliminating the weaker portion of society wouldn't necessarily reduce us to an animal state, but would rather transform our capitalistic world into more militaristic one. Think of our modern technologies when mixed with a Spartan mindset and you get a glimpse of the heights humanity could reach. Once this system was set in motion, the only thing left to do is keep the masses of humanity in a constant state of apathy or anarchy. We already live in a world where a mere fraction of the worlds population controls almost all of its resources, how hard would it really be to just go the whole way?
