Do you believe in ''eugonics''?

[Anonymous]

Do you think that people with ''accepted'' features should make more children than people with ''non-accepted'' features? even the latest should not have any children?

I don't believe in eugenics, even not indirectly eugenics, because it can make a sorting society where some people are seen as more worth than others, inequality, increase of discrimination and splitting people. In addition genetics don't work in that way and isn't as black-white as we think it's. Features can skip in generations. Some children don't resemble their parents and gets their grandparents' or great grandparents' features instead. Also in cases where both of the parents are seen as unattractive by the society, has some inheritable medical conditions and lower intelligence there's no guarantee for the child to get the same features and they can be perfectly healthy and fine. Both because of genes are a bit random and because of people in their family from the older generation may have influenced it.

I think for the next 100 years every family should be limited to one child. There are already too many of you fuckers in my way. I don't want more of you. I don't care if you look like that dude from Goonies, or Brad pit. Get the fuck outta my way, you drive like an asshole

Who said i belive in eugenics?

[audaciter85]

It wasn't me, not once did I even insinuate it. I accused you of being a shitty driver and admonished you for being in my way. Big difference

I don't believe in that. Everyone should have the right of having kids regardless of their looks. It only matters if they're good parents or not.
This theory is absolutely ridiculous!

Any feature today is the result of millions of years of such selected breeding.

[Asker]

True... In a broader definition of eugenics though...

[PaulMarrow]

You mean eugenics? Yes I do, strongly features like high IQ , strength, resistance to disease, courage, logic, compassion should all be selected for. China is headed in that direction, anyone who doesn't keep up will go the way of the dinosaur.

[Assburgers]

Yeah I believe in it. But I dont believe that a central authority should authorize whom and whom cannot reproduce. We should on individual basis select people to reproduce with in order to make better children.

[Asker]

Same belief...

[ClarizzeAlc]

Disregarding the features of people, when you make more children it still contributes to world population

[audaciter85]

Less people. I need some more elbow room. Let's just ban reproduction for ten years and see how that goes

[ClarizzeAlc]

good idea if that's possible

[TadCurious]

The word you mean is "eugenics," not "eugonics."

[Josht13]

Not a fan of eugonics tbh

[jacquesvol]

People should know it for themselves.

[HamAndCheese]

Yeah.
