hopefully the fucking autism will be eradicated by gene editing and selecting the right embryo or something. it gave me null advantage in life.
Or maybe we can just improve society a little bit, rather than advocate for eugenics. For once.
i want to improve my kid because i want it to have a better life than me. i think eugenics is something very nice, if it doesnt involve killing or hurting (living) people.
By definition it kills people and hurts future generations. That is literally the ENTIRE point of it
You are EXPLICITLY reducing the genetic diversity and stability of the ENTIRE human population. To narrow it into a subset of it self.
It literally can only cause long term harm for short term gain. Sure you get ONE generation of improvement but then every future generations that generation creates is negatively impacted.
And it only takes about 14 generations to infect the entire human population functionally.
So unless your going to also make every child you create with eugenics sterile and fuck their core biological purpose as an animal. Just so they can have a better societal existence.
Then eugenics is fucking STUPID as fuck. And if you are willing to do that. Then your either actively a massive raging asshole with no ability to think about the common good or long term effects of your actions.
Or you have brain damage.
Or a Nazi. Let's not be Nazis ok?
I'm pretty sure this is not what Iai had in mind.
It also normalizes the gene pool, which can become a threat to our survival
Dude, no.
