Tolwyn was a brilliant military leader and his actions alway reflected his point of view, of what is good for the confederation. In recognizing the need to prepare Confed for another war he was 100% correct. In creating genetically engineered soldiers to be more efficient defenders of the confederation he was 100% correct. In realizing that history taught that the strong race/species will survive and triumph over the weak race/species he was 100% correct. In using a bio weapon to elliminate the weak from his/our race to make the race stronger, the intentions and idea behind it is perfectly logical and corresponds to reason and what has been taught by darwin. His problem was that he failed to consider the fact that just because an action is logical and in the long run will probably benefit humanity, it is not necessarily moral and as such by using the GenSelect bio weapon he was immoral, but not illogical and "crazy" he just saw what he thought was a solution that on paper is logical. If one is breeding race horses to be fast with good endurance, does one take the fastest horse and the horse with the best endurance and breed them together to get the best of both worlds? Yes. Does one take the slowest horse with the worst endurance and allow it to interbreed with the other horses? No. So from Tolwyn's point of view, he was just breeding better humans who would be smarter, stronger, and potentially better than the current humans, and it would have worked. What tolwyn did not do is consider humans different from animals, or consider humans special. We can say that humans are different than other animals and thus cannot be bred the way that tolwyn planned, but that is a call that each person must make for themselves. If he did wish to make a better race what he should have done is rather than kill the people he considers "undesirable", instead he should have allowed them to go about their own lives, but encourage his "desirables" to breed with each other thus increasing the intelligence/strenght of those individuals. Was he wrong in his literal Genocide of those he considered "undesirable"? I say yes. Was he wrong in trying to create a stronger humaninty? I say no. Was he a patriot? Yes he was. Was he crazy? No, he just thought differently than the mainstream that does not make him mentally ill. Should he be considered an overall villan or hero? I say hero because all of his intentions were good.
One thing that we musn't do is say that what he did even remotely resemballs what the Nazi's did to the Jews, or what the Turks did to the Armenians. We should not make this comparison because there were too separate things here. The Nazi's thought without any scientific evidence or logical reasoning that the Jews were inferior to them and thus should die. The Turks thought that becuase the Armenians were devout christians, and were different that they were inferior and dersereved to die. Tolwyn, used science and logic to take the people who were inferior mentally physically and who had genetic diseases and attempted to weed them out. The difference is that he did not base his genocide on a specific ethnicity or socio-economic group, no he based his genocide on people who were in someway or another genetically inferior to others. This is a qualitative difference in that while all three cases would have/do have the same moral problems, tolwyn's case would have had a positive (for the race) end result, while the other 2 did not have any net positive result for the human race as a whole.
If anybody disagrees with me fine, but just as a warning, I will NOT be treated as if I was a Nazi or called derogatory names simple becuase I took the logical, while unemotional, path in my explanation as to why Tolwyn was a patriot, but committed a seriously egredious act against the people he wouldhave/did kill. He did not committ a crime against humanity however, for in a crime against humanity, a person or group must cause a net lose to the race as a whole. What he did commit was a crime against SOCIETY and against popular moral beliefs
