Medical Definition: A pseudoscience with the stated aim of improving the genetic constitution of the human species by selective breeding. Eugenics is from a Greek word meaning 'normal genes.' This is currently in the news as the PM has appointed an adviser who is supportive of Eugenics. These are the various comments made by the guy who is now advising the government. “Eugenics are about selecting ‘for’ good things. Intelligence is largely inherited and correlates with better outcomes: physical health, income, lower mental illness”. Advocating widespread prescription of an anti-narcolepsy drug, he said: “From a societal perspective the benefits of giving everyone modafinil once a week are probably worth a dead kid once a year.” “One way to get around problems of unplanned pregnancies creating a permanent underclass would be to legally enforce universal uptake of long-term contraception at the onset of puberty. Vaccination laws give it a precedent, I would argue.” “I am always straight up in saying that women’s sport is more comparable to the Paralympics than it is to men’s.” "If the mean black American IQ is (best estimate based on a century’s worth of data) around 85, as compared to a mean white American IQ of 100, then if IQ is normally distributed, you will see a far greater percentage of blacks than whites in the range of IQs 75 or below, at which point we are close to the typical boundary for mild mental retardation. That parsimoniously explains the greater diagnostic rates for blacks when it comes to “Intellectual Disability”.
Yeah why not, is basically an aided version survival of the fittest. Get rid of the worst genes over time, we as a species do it with lots of other types of life so why not our own?
I should add, seeing as I've asked other people to share their opinions, I'm completely against it. My post about Sucky was just a joke. I don't want him wiped out by Eugenics. There are better methods.
Can we get rid of the fat girl gene? The world doesnt need fat girls, spurly will have to make do with a normal sized bitch.
Shocked to find out that topknot doesn't understand the discussion. Give it a couple of hours before him and Chaos are arguing over hair styles, sun tans and which Love Island contestant has the best flip flops.
