Oh I don't know...

Shaw was a proponent of the theory of "eugenics" that believed in the improvement of the human race through selective reproduction.[69] Advocates of this theory feared society was at risk due to a declining gene pool because inferior people were breeding much more rapidly than the better ones. They advocated for public policies that would prevent this. Shaw claimed only eugenics could save mankind.[70] Shaw even suggested people should have to regularly appear before a board to justify their existence

Shaw also called for the development of a "deadly" but "humane" gas for the purpose of killing those unfit to live.




A few more famous people: Brendan Behan, Samuel Beckett, Michael Gambon, Phil Lynott, Peter O'Toole, Richard Harris..
