If someone wants to choose a mate on that criteria, in such an analytical way, that certainly is their choice.
It should NOT under any circumstances, be forced on us by the government or any other elitist, we-know-what’s-good-for-you-even-if-you-don’t group.
Because people are not animals nor a commodity.
Thanks for your response

Now that is an interesting twist. You see it as a personal liberties issue, it would seem. That makes sense, and is a natural extension from the Ethics issue.
Fair to say that I learn something new just about every day on the FRee Republic. Today it has been all about Eugenics.
Time spent on this Forum is time well invested.

People and animals are too a commodity. Who does your taxes? Certainly not a retarded person, I hope. Your choice of the smartest most highly qualified person is yours to make.
As for your statement that animals are not a commodity tells me that you are not a farmer or raise animals for market. ‘High yield’ vegetables have been produced through vast scientific research to give you more for your buck. You'll notice this the next time you go to the store and rummage through the veggies to pick out that certain perfect apple, etc. That apple was genetically bred to give the highest shine, sugar content, taste and appearance to entice you into buying it. Your purchase confirms the grower's assumption and you are then, in turn, condoning the continued genetic creation of the ‘perfect’ apple.
When you go to the market with a sickly steer that was the product of a sickly mother-father you will get less money for your stock. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that this continued behavior will not allow them to remain in farming-ranching business much longer.
Both humans and animals are a commodity. Never look for a potential mate at a free clinic!
