Do you object the idea of using eugenics?
Eugenics can be used for the good of humans when its used properly. Imagine a society where only the preferred genes of certain individuals are allowed to be ped on to the future generation. That society would only preserve a certain set of desirable traits that could be ped on. Think about it, eugenics isn’t all that new. Selective breeding has been practiced for as long as wealthy suitors have picked attractive and healthy looking partners. They have then ped their healthy and attractive genes to their offsprings. Eugenics is the answer to a society that will become burdened by problems of diminishing resources, incurable defects and land. Critics who are against eugenics have argued that eugenics works on an “inherently racist” framework, in that it can be manipulated to benefit one race over the other. What Hitler did was wrong as anyone can tell you. He was only interested in engineering an "Aryan" race at the expense of others. This is not in line with a better society for all humans. The other argument that they use is that eugenics would be “inorganic” or that “It would be playing God.” That would make sense but if we reject everything that are synthetically made, why don’t we just all throw out our fruit produce? The apples that you buy from your produce were all selectively bred to insure the best quality.
