look at all the different breeds of dogs and all the problems they have from being over bred... some get blind, some have bad joints, etc...

eugenics would lead to an army of humans that all look the same and all get sick and have miserable lives.

also, I'm already the perfect human specimen... I wouldn't want competition

We should leave natural selection up to nature in this case, I think.

Except you don't get humans with 50 fold differences in mass like you sometimes do with dogs.

so he was an idiot and said /b/ instead of /sci/. I get confused by the content here too.

Interesting topic still, so I'm game.

Well, for something being started in mass in the Land of the Free (oh the irony!) it isn't actually all that good.

If you beleive in reincarnation, isn't eugenics moral?

>> No.1067592

Eugenics assumes that humans are smart enough to control long term, complicated processes like evolution, when it's clear that humans aren't even smart enough to handle simple things like oil production. Humans don't know what's best for themselves. Putting a human in charge of our evolution would be retarded.

This topic clearly shows that /sci/ is not full of scientists, but a bunch of idiotic armchair 12 year olds who read brave new world in their english class and just learned about evolution and are shouting UMMM NATURAL SELECTION, NATURAL PROCESSES GUIZ.

LAWL YALL POSTING IN THE TROLL THREAD

>> No.1067661

I do not approve of it but I do realize the difference between positive and negative eugenics.


Also everyone is for eugenics until they find out they're blacklisted.

"Many will condemn this as a resurgence of "eugenics", the view, especially popular in the early 20th century, that hereditary traits should be improved through active intervention. So it is, in a way, and in the hands of authoritarian regimes, genetic selection could resemble the evils of earlier forms of eugenics, with their advocacy of odious, pseudoscientific official policies, particularly concerning "racial hygiene".

In liberal, market-driven societies, however, eugenics will not be coercively imposed by the state for the collective good. Instead, it will be the outcome of parental choice and the workings of the free market. If it leads to healthier, smarter people with better problem-solving abilities, that will be a good thing. But even if parents make choices that are good for their children, there could be perils as well as blessings."
