On Brazil Redpoint5 would needed to had exploded the entire school to get this sentence. And if was rich a lawyer would say he was bipolar or depressed, and get hin just comunitary service.
The bad side of some eugenic was ignorance, about genes and the relation itself, and the dictatorship over race. Nazism is the main example, since it just used it in forcefull way against even innocent people, just to push blue eyes and blonde hair. They have some fewconcept of diseases, but also a lot of ignorance. There were evil and kiled not only jews (innocents) but also their own cronic sick children and elders.
The german doctors introduced the idea, and the nazi leaders liked and decided to use against jews too.
Racists ignores that there are inteligent and dumb people in all races (ethinic groups). Many racists are dumb, and there are black persons more inteligent.
There are some polemic studies about
average inteligence differences between ethginic groups, and these studies (not sure if very trustable) tends to praise asian people as the bests.
What if asian would call whites as inferior race?
Let's supose a people culture had eugenics in their past, like a sexist way of reward man, the most strong and inteligent, by alowing them to have the healthier women of the vilage. This would be a old but a way of eugenics. Not moraly correct, if we think in the women used as reward. But it would had increased the health resistance and average inteligence.
But a wise society, with or without genetic enginering , if understoud about heritage of genes and diseases, could create a way to increase the health and intelectual power of human species. A start is avoiding have kids if you have genes for a disease of a certain degree for health problems. Another is adopting kids from very inteligent people.
It sounds a bit absurd, but many cultures are different and looks absurd to our own culture.
And it's not just IQ inteliegence, but behavior and self controll, that for me are also forms of inteligence somehow. If sociopaths never get kids, the incidence of the genes involved in socioath would be reduced a lot.
Interesting debate, and not freak as in Fox News :
