Easily. Free market genetic engineering. Parents will pay companies to make genetic therapies that increase their kids desirable traits.
Companies will now compete for parent's money by innovating ever better genetic therapies.

Bootstrapping occurs as parents pay companies to make better therapies. There are no moral flaws here, unless you claim the babies don't consent to the modifications, but the same is true for them being born.

Genetic testing of very early embryos by taking a sample of amniotic fluid, and abortion of defective ones.

A population of people with no genetic load is plenty improvement enough. The improvement in productivity and happiness would be through the roof. Vast industries of remediation: most medical therapies, special needs classes, welfare, criminal/legal system, would disappear.

I will have replaced particular sub-par genes I had with improved ones. When my kid has kids, he will replace those genes with further improved ones, as by the time he has kids companies will have innovated even better therapies.
If I removed the gene that causes cystic fibrosis in a baby I'm not transforming that person into a distant cousin.

Probably not. Back in the 1980s there was a group of business leaders who were raising funds to provide poor women in the ghetto with free sterilization surgery and a fat check for agreeing to not have children. It would have been completely voluntary but they believed enough ghetto women would accept the money to break the poverty cycle that came from people in the ghetto birthing the next generation of criminals and drags on social services.

Genetic deadends will want to off their babies because they just want the dopamine of ejaculation.

And do the same with vasectomy and ligation. Fund them, and advertise them as "all the sex with none of the consequences", and in our decadent society, deadends will flock to get them. Normalize them.

I'm not the anon who advocates gene editing, but the anon who said it should be banned. I do think that all defective embryos should be aborted early. The ones that go to term would be unedited. So you get a perfect version of the parents. It would smell like me, look and behave more-or-less like me, but a bit taller, handsomer, smarter and healthier because the sub-clinical deleterious genes are absent.

Let me clarify: Each deleterious gene I might carry corresponds to what is probably a good allele in my wife and vice versa.

The eugenic effects of that process are unlikely to be strong enough to overpower the natural dysgenic selection pressures of a high complexity civilization.

Yes, and we're currently doing it. Prenatal genetic scanning is quite common and the parents often act on the results, meaning pregnancies suffering from genetical abnormalities, such as down syndrome, are aborted.

In fact, and just as an example, the number of individuals suffering from down syndrome has been dropping for the last two decades. If the trend continues, there likely wont be any downies in the future.

Not really, no. The Nazis pretty much poisoned the well on it. But I will try to detail what you would need.

First of all, dear god do not call it "eugenics". Like I said, the well has been poisoned with that word.

One thing I think you actually could do without much pushback is promote IVF+embryo selection. I think people already do this to some extent. Just screen for the embryos with the best genes and throw the rest in the trash. Ironically, the only people who would object to this are right wing religious types who believe every embryo has a human soul. Admittedly, I myself am a little squeamish about this sort of thing too. But you could probably do it with the least amount of pushback.

Beyond that almost everything upsets the left. But possibly you could pay people with genetic illnesses to get sterilized. You will NEVER be able to do anything based on IQ or crime, and NEVER EVER based on race. And you will also never be able to kill anybody or sterilize them against their will.

>> No.16067956

>>16066884
Brainlet, IVF isn't genetic engineering, there's not even selection based on traits present in the embryo other than which one survives. Genetic engineering is where you select the genes in the organism.

Genetics and environment contribute to all of those things moron. If I constantly select for the fattest, dumbest, and unhealthiest individuals in the population, I will eventually end up with a population predisposed to all of those things.

Unfortunately, complex civilization (what we have) selects very strongly for all of these traits.
Even worse, all of those traits are bad for civilization. Which means their buildup will collapse civilization.

>There is so much wrong with everything that caring about genes is just stupid.
Absolutely not. Genetics are paramount, because if current selection pressures are promoting bad traits you will be increasing the prevalence of those bad traits in later generations.

You can try and argue the effects of dysgencs are really slow (they aren't), but even then you must justify not immediately seeking a remedy to that dysgenic trend, because if given enough time become critical.

>Try fixing what males us all sick, and stop obsessing about who breeds.
It might sound cruel, using healthcare to keep everyone alive will allow the buildup deleterious mutations in the population, in other worse select for poor health, in other words dysgenics.
E.g due to modern medicine cystic fibrosis sufferers' fertility has increased, which means there will be a higher percentage of cystic fibrosis sufferers.

You have no idea how bad things are, and how unconscionably awful they are going to be. If you allow current trends to continue, the population of humanity will drop more than an order of magnitude.
