I too support eugenics but not in the way it has been implemented in the past by some nor by any genetic modification.

I lean more toward Margaret Sanger's views. Economic/population eugenics if you will.

As someone mentioned above, we already tend to use genetic selection unconsciously.

Do women in dire economic circumstances really choose to have 8 kids?

Should a crack whore who has had 3 babies removed from her be sterilized? I think so.

I also agree with a post above that an "undesirable characteristic" today, may mean survival tomorrow, so I don't agree with messing too much in that area.
