Oh, now ... I've been told several times on this thread that Plato advocated and Sparta practiced "animal husbandry." Never mind that your guys are talking about people like cattle; maybe that's what's bugging you.

Plato wasn't talking about "animal husbandry." But that's okay, it was probably Darwin's fault anyway.

The Republic, Book 5, Section 1. Plato specifically recommended state-supervised selective breeding of children.

If you say so. FRevos are the only ones perpetuating this anachronism.

I'd say it's a mathematical certainty, per the provided proof.

I brought up "animal husbandry." What I was saying was that eugenics is applying the principles of animal husbandry (i.e., artificial selection) to humans. I was not talking about people like cattle. That's what eugenicists do.
