Everyone has genetic illnesses. No one is perfect. Labeling someone who has a genetic illness does nothing good for the rest of the world.
Ok and everyone has the terminal illness called life, asinine platitudes aside - some people have serious problems within their genetics, these can
cause horrific defects which cause nothing but suffering to the poor person - needless suffering.
They weren't sensible. They wanted to rid the world of people who weren't whites, and, to make the world be absolutely perfect. They wanted a utopia
that is completely impossible, and, they were not afraid to get rid of anyone else who they deemed fit. The world should not be ran by such people.
No, no, no that's not fair - SOME people were racist eugenic crazys that's for sure, most of them were Nazis - this does in no way mean that
everyone who looked into or researched eugenics was a terrible person. As for a utopia, ever read Tomas More's Utopia? Most of the problems he
finds solutions for are no longer problems to us, technology has sent them the way of Small Pox. It's not a wild fantasy to say that we can and
should work to increase and improve the health of the world, indeed the general health of the world has been increasing dramatically in the last few
hundred years, why should we suspect it will stop?
The ideal solution comes from the dangerous and scary technology of genetic enginering - the possibility that genetic errors can be fixed, alas many
religion weilding philistines seek to ban this vital scientific breakthrough and with out it society will eventually collapse. I don't see why any
blind, geneticly autistic or any kids with other genetic problems need to be born once this technology is perfected.
We shouldn't be focusing our efforts to something like eugenics which brings the end of families. Rather we should be focusing our efforts on curing
these people. You seem to have a pro-eugenics look. One look at history will show that eugenics isn't that great.
Wait, didn't i just say almost exactly that? Eugenics is an outdated science, we now have better more moral and more viable solutions, such as like
i said "The ideal solution comes from the dangerous and scary technology of genetic enginering - the possibility that genetic errors can be
fixed"
I believe eugenics is still around... just in other forms.
Ok, well if you could maybe provide some form of evidence for this claim then i'll agree with you, as it stands the general medical and scientific
opinion is that genetic understanding will (and has) render eugenics totally unnessasary this is quiet clear when you look at how money is being spent
within the community. What are these other forms? as i mentioned before welfare alcodrug addicts manage to find time between prison to drop an
entire litter, disabled and geneticly unviable kids are born everyday - where is this eugenics happening then?
