| 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. |
