You are comparing adjudicating the worth of a non changeable attribute of a human to the minimum cost of labor. If you can’t see the difference between the two then I don’t know what to do. There slippery slope arguments then there are just silly arguments.

There are many people with disabilities that prevent them from doing ordinary work but who could do certain jobs with lower productivity. A minimum wage is essentially telling these people that they are worthless and should sit in a room doing nothing even though they want to work and feel useful, and in many cases this makes their lives substantially worse because they both feel useless and have less income when they can't work.

That actually sounds kind of a lot like what they did to some of the victims of eugenics.

Right. And there’s no way to have an exception just like there is today. I can’t tell if you’re all be obtuse on purpose. Is this some sort of political movement to equate minimum wage to eugenics? As is now conservatives care about the poor, disabled, and minorities? What’s crazy is that I agree with OP of this thread that economists should refrain from saying what’s moral. But that’s because most economists are just old white men, and I doubt they’re able to judge what’s moral better than others.
