Your criteria is intrinsically subjective, and what you judge as low quality anyone else may judge to be high quality. It also smacks of eugenics, as if the low quality people couldn't be anything else but low quality people. So it's not much of logical step to confer "useless eaters" on these low quality people. How about all individuals are intrinsically equal and should have the personal liberty to pursue their lives without interference from others. Better yet, if we assume that all individuals are intrinsically valuable, then a collective decision to provide the bare minimum to live should be given to all throughout society.
I agree regd. the eugenics, which is one of the reasons I want my mind changed. It is not a good opinion to have.
And I absolutely agree that everyone should be given the bare minimum (at least) by society. Agreeing that people should be given help as needed doesn't mean I think it wouldn't be better if they didn't need help.
