Is it time to re-think eugenics? | |

It has slowly been replaced with modern technology such as " custom " Babies and what not. They now use Genetic Engineering to accomplish the same goal. Eugenics should have been the standard for the last century or so. But... No.... Cant have that. |

When you have a racist like Margaret Sanger starting Planned Parenthood as a way to keep black population down, it'd bound to look bad on you. Now we have technology to reduce numbers of disabled kids that would save them a lot of money in the long run. We will eventually get there but liberals will ruin it like they always do. I prefer libertarian/conservative ways as they have proved to be more accurate and right on a lot of things. |

| Zombietard User ID: 26144986  Argentina10/25/2012 12:39 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | After watching the following documentary on eugenics, I think the attitude I came away with is the opposite of what the creators intended. It seems to me that in this day and age, people are breeding FOR failure of the human race, and are not thinking at all about what their decisions mean for the future. Quoting: Billy_Sastard Spot on, and a lot of people that is on the dole is breeding for the children or family benefits. A lot of this are :african: or people that for religious reasons feel compelled to have a large offspring but gives a rat ass about the education or development of their children. |

Hitler and his cronies turned what should have been a valid area of scientific research and debate into an emotion laden topic that is virtually forbidden as a subject of public debate. The moment the word "eugenics" is mentioned, otherwise intelligent people, lose all control of their rational faculties and start braying like donkeys. |

GOD does not keep retarded people from having retarded babies, MAN does by sterilizing the retards or preventing them from mating with other retards. (A bit blunt, maybe, but sometimes bluntness is the only way to get a point across...) It is, to me, sad how fast people forget the FOUNDATIONS of our fine country!

Quoting: Billy_Sastard [link to www.motherjones.com] it's not over yet...they are conducting this test still as we speak...look at the environment..the food we eat ....the chemicals being used.........and so on.. it's the next step in a scientific process...... the research(is you and everyone else)..... they already know what can happen if do this ...in order for that to occur..... (nazis gather this prior.....and used ...and continuing to do so at a grand scale) now....that that research is done....now it's place in a societal setting.....again still the next step in research...they are looking at the survival concept....and the conditioning of not knowning of it's true orgins..especially when it comes to dieases,viruses, etc. and then ....acceptance......... just the way peole have come to the point of accepting .....evolution.   |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 963968 Eugenics with a candy coating & a xenomorphic twist.  Eugenics means working with what is there naturally. What you are talking about is active change of genetic make up by gene manipulation and modification. Eugenics is what humans used to make cows and chickens. Xenomorphism is how we get roses that glow in the dark. |
