There is little doubt that intelligence is inherited to a large degree (about 0.8). So the idea behind eugenics is not all that crazy.

The problem with it is that humans haven’t achieved sufficient wisdom (or knowledge) to trust them to make those choices.

I’m sure that most freepers decry eugenics, and yet in the same breath they would also bemoan all the welfare queens having so many kids and lowering the nation’s IQ.

Just because someone is slow

doesn’t give anyone the right

to end their life.

The idea of eugenics for livestock and pets is not crazy.

It IS, however, crazy for human beings. This is because we are not barnyard animals, owned by others, to be bred or spayed as our masters see fit.

Human Dignity 101.

We earned the right to moan about the Welfare Queens. We PAY for them. So there.
