How does /sci/ feel about eugenics?

>> No.3560985

It's unethical.

>> No.3560989

It's a complex subject. I support it, but some think it's racist

>> No.3560991

Sure, depends on what you're trying to eliminate though

If it were approached with considerations of the general betterment of humanity in relation to harmony with an environment, and the traits which were selected were done so without self-referential and self-interested bias, and it wasn't just a tool to widen the gap between the worldly, materialistic, corrupt, wealthy and poor, than it might potentially be worthy of encouragement. Unfortunately, humanity at large seems to have proven again and again that the latter scenario is more likely. Greed, ego, self-interest, elitism, and selfish desire have long run rampant, it seems...

I have no vested interest in how the human race turns out (and I don't see how anyone else can). I see no point in any kind of eugenics except to lower the future suffering of humans by removing genetic diseases but there are other ways to do that. I don't think it would be ethical anyway.

>> No.3561062

Some retards think that it means nerds suddenly would get laid a lot or something.

I'm against it, because I've no idea what criteria politicians would set and if so, I'd be allowed to have kids.

>> No.3561084

There is nothing wrong with eugenics. Unfortunately the average moron associates the word with genocide, so it will be a long time before it is properly implemented.

>> No.3561093

I feel it's the solution, because of what I see everyday.
Also lots of moneys saved because of no money wasted having weird illnesses, for one thing.

Also, we should have a technocracy

>> No.3561112

we don't necessarily need "superior" people. Just less people, and less lazy.
